# subs

- SYNOPSIS
- DESCRIPTION

## 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.
