I have a fairly large code-base that relies on Method::Signatures, and I have found that it works very well. However, it depends on Devel::Declare. The documentation for Devel::Declare states,
WARNING Warning: Devel::Declare is a giant bag of crack originally implemented + by mst with the goal of upsetting the perl core developers so much b +y its very existence that they implemented proper keyword handling in + the core. As of perl5 version 14, this goal has been achieved, and modules such +as Devel::CallParser, Function::Parameters, and Keyword::Simple provi +de mechanisms to mangle perl syntax that don't require hallucinogenic + drugs to interpret the error messages they produce.
So, for new code I would recommend Function::Parameters.

Also, it looks like the author of Method::Signatures (schwern) would like for the two modules to work well together. See these github issues,

However, these issues are a few years old and I don't know how much progress has been made in addressing them.
