You can do that with the symbol table, but using defined and exists is cleaner.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use feature qw{ say };

{   package My;
    sub one { print "123"; }
    sub two;
}

say ${My::}{one};              # *My::one
say ${My::}{two};              # -1
say ${My::}{three};            #

say defined *My::one{CODE};    # 1
say defined *My::two{CODE};    # 1
say defined *My::three{CODE};  # 

say exists &My::one;           # 1
say exists &My::two;           # 1
say exists &My::three;         # 

say defined &My::one;          # 1
say defined &My::two;          #
say defined &My::three;        #

Update: added the first paragraph of says.

Update 2: Interestingly, a forward declared sub with prototypes returns the prototypes with the first syntax:

sub four (&@);
# ...
say ${My::}{four};             # &@
[download]

Update 3: ... unless you add an attribute, too, which makes it output the glob name.

sub five (&@) :method;
say ${My::}{five};             # *My::five
[download]

Update 4: The -1 is printed only if you remove all other mentions of My::three, otherwise *My::three is printed.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
