"Perl 6 exposes signatures as objects, and allows you introspect that parameter list"
FYI, the Kavorka signature syntax and introspection API shown in my answer is very much inspired by Perl 6.
Your example:
$ perl6-m -e 'sub f($x, $a, $b) { }; say &f.signature.params[1].name'
$a
... translates to:
perl -MKavorka -E'fun f($x, $a, $b){ }; say Kavorka->info(\&f)->signat
+ure->params->[1]->name'
My policy was generally, "if in doubt, do things like Perl 6".
I do really need to experiment with blessing coderefs, allowing things like: (\&f)->signature to "just work".
use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
