Problem in synopsis of Test::Data?
The following example given in the Test::Data modules t directory

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Test::More tests => 2;
use Test::Data qw(Function);
sub fooey($$) { 1 }
prototype_ok( &fooey, '$$', 'Double scalar fooey' );
prototype_ok( &fooey, '$$' );
gives an error as 1..2
Type of arg 1 to Test::Data::Function::prototype_ok must be sub (not subroutine
entry) at func.pl line 10, near "'Double scalar fooey' )"
Type of arg 1 to Test::Data::Function::prototype_ok must be sub (not subroutine

Execution of func.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

You need to backslash the subs so as to pass a reference to them, not call them.
prototype_ok( \&fooey, '$$', 'Double scalar fooey' ); prototype_ok( \&fooey, '$$' );
And yes, the t\function.t has it wrong, as is the POD description for prototype_ok().
Examine what is said, not who speaks.
