CSharp Attributes ... Perl equivalent for module subroutines?

dimar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

If you are familiar with 'attributes' in the CSharp programming language, then you probably do not need to look at the following link for an overview of what they are: CSharp Attributes overview

Moreover, you probably already knew that someone was going to ask you if there is way to tag subroutines in a perl module with custom attributes, just like in CSharp programming endeavors.

Congratulations! This is your opportunity to answer that question you have been anticipating. Specifically, is there a way to tag subroutines in a perl module with custom attributes?
