NAME
       subs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names

SYNOPSIS
           use subs qw(frob);
           frob 3..10;


DESCRIPTION
       This will predeclare all the subroutine whose names are in
       the list, allowing you to use them without parentheses
       even before they're declared.

       Unlike pragmas that affect the `$^H' hints variable, the
       `use vars' and `use subs' declarations are not BLOCK-
       scoped.  They are thus effective for the entire file in
       which they appear.  You may not rescind such declarations
       with `no vars' or `no subs'.

       See the Pragmatic Modules entry in the perlmodlib manpage
       and the strict subs entry in the strict manpage.
