Since Perl can adjust its symbol tables on the fly, even WHILE making a call to a routine, this is akin to the unsolvable "halting problem."

You can scan the source code for the package file. You can scan the current state of the symbol table. You can even look at the source code to any AUTOLOAD and DYNALOAD libraries to see what they might hint at adding on the fly. [Update I forgot to mention that you'll then have to walk the @ISA tree for all inherited packages, each such package with the same problems.] And you'd still have a potentially incomplete list.
