my @rv;
{ no strict 'refs';
my $stash = $pkg . '::';

for my $name (sort keys %$stash ) {

_debug( " Checking stash entry '$name'" );

### is it a subentry?
my $sub = $pkg->can( $name );
next unless defined $sub;

_debug( " '$name' is a coderef" );

next unless defined prototype($sub) and
not length prototype($sub);
