You're close. You just need to use the fully qualified name of the sub you're trying to find. And it wouldn't hurt to build in some error checking to alert you if the sub you're looking for doesn't exist. Here's an example:
package MyTest;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub findsub {
my $subref;
if( defined &main::testsub ) {
$subref = \&main::testsub;
} else {
die "main::testsub doesn't exist.\n";
}
$subref->( "Hello world!\n" );
}
1;
package main;
MyTest::findsub();
sub testsub {
print shift;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
