If you are on an Unix system you could use `find . \| xargs grep -n "Any string you want to find in files"` [download] That will give you output in the following format: `./folder/folder/file: line number: line containing "string"` [download] Of course in your case you would use the name of your subroutine as the string.

The way you've phrased the question it is an impossible task, but you should look into B::Xref	[reply]

The english formulation of your question is hard to understand. You will have to "open" the file to look inside of it whether by text editor or other means! Usually the question is: what subroutines does this module expect can be called by others? Look at the beginning statements: `our @EXPORT = qw(sub1 sub2); our @EXPORT_OK = qw(sub3);` [download] Those are the subroutines that the module author expects will be called by others, the "public interface". It is possible in Perl to call other subroutines with a fully qualified name (package::sub5), but that isn't "playing by the rules". Past this simple advice, I don't understand your question - please explain more...	[reply] [d/l]
