NAME

subs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names

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

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

See the section on Pragmatic Modules in the perlmod manpage and the subs entry in the strict manpage.
