Description : Detect undeclared subroutines in Perl compilation
This module provides optional checking of subroutine existence at
compile time. This checking detects mistyped subroutine names and
subroutines that the programmer forgot to import. Traditionally Perl
does not detect these errors until runtime, so it is easy for errors
to lurk in rarely-executed or untested code.
Lintian would like to use the functionality to protect against missing
imports in rarely used code paths during parallel execution. [1]
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Felix Lechner
