> My program crashed at runtime. I don't want to write a test that does a "can" on every darned subroutine I call in my program.

Than use AUTOLOAD to catch the call before crashing.

You haven't told us which behavior you expect, so like this you're free to implement it yourself...

Update

To catch a typo at compile time, drop the parens

See Re^3: How to identify incorrect subroutine calls in a perl program

Generally it's better to import the sub too, instead of a full qualified call.
