in thread Test if a string is a sub name
I do not understand how your expression &$string works. The documentation for exists tells us that the expression must return the name of a subroutine. It appears to me that this would only be true for your expression if $string is a symbolic reference (which is prohibited by use strict). I would expect you need string interpolation (perhaps "&$string") but this syntax throws an error that the argument of exists is not a subroutine.
