+# Tests for subroutine prototypes, signatures and the like
+
+# Prototypes have syntactical properties different from "normal" Perl:
+# Perl has a variable $), so ($)) is not an unbalanced parenthesis.
+# On the other hand, in a prototype ($) is _not_ an open paren
+# followed by the variable $), so the parens are balanced.  Prototypes
+# are somewhat frowned upon most of the times, but they are required
+# for some Perl magic
+
+# FIXME: 2022-02-02 CPerl mode does not handle subroutine signatures.
+# In simple cases it mistakes them as prototypes, when attributes are
+# present, it doesn't handle them at all.  Variables in signatures
+# SHOULD be fontified like variable declarations.
+
+# Part 1: Named subroutines
+# A prototype and a trivial subroutine attribute
