You could grep them out of the symbol table: `my @subs = grep { defined &{ $_ } } keys %Your::Package::;` [download] Update: I probably should have also mentioned that if you're doing this from a different package, you'll need to prepend the package name to make sure you're checking for defined-ness in the right symbol table. E.g. `package Foo; sub foo { } sub bar { } sub baz { } package Bar; my @subs = grep { defined &{ "Foo::$_" } } keys %Foo::; print join "\n", @subs;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Can you have the module keep track of the NAME's so that a getNAMEs() just returns the list? If the routines are static in there, this could just be a hardcoded list (or maybe one that's populated in BEGIN by one of the above methods). If these (as i assume they are from OP) subroutines are created at runtime, the creation code could just push the NAME onto an internal list, which is what your new getNAMEs() subroutine would return.

Store the functions in a hash with their names as the keys. Solves scoping issues, keeps everything in one place, easy to extend, won't mysteriously break if you reformat the source.	[reply]
