Consider the test program
#!usr/bin perl -w
use strict;
if ("1" eq "2") {
print hello();
}
sub helloBROKEN {
print "hello world\n";
}
This program will actually compile and run without error. If I remove the if ("1" eq "2") condition then I get an error saying that the subroutine does not exist.
I would like for perl to warn me whenever I refer to a subroutine which does not exist.
Does this behavior indicate that perl is only checking my subroutine references at runtime? Is there any way to force perl to check my subroutine references at compile time?

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).
