I have this program which extract function names from the files.
My only problem is I want to extract only the function names{no
brackets () needed } .
Currently its extract all words after word sub but it all
returns
the parentheses after that.


Hello,

Given the function definition like below,

sub myfunc($,$){
....
}


You may extract the function name using the regex,

my ($func_name) = $_ =~ /sub\s+(\w+)/;

or even,

my ($func_name) = /sub\s+(\w+)/;

The 'split' is not needed I think.
.
