Re^4: How to tell methods exist in a package

No, but this does:

$val="FOO";
$method="${val}::mySub";
if (exists &$method) {...}
[download]

Also,

if ($val->can("mySub")) { ... }
[download]

works (with the aforementiond behavioural differences of course).

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
