It seems like you could grovel through the symbol table and replace each
func with a new sub which marks down the call in a hash somewhere and
then calls the original sub. I saw an example of something similar on
Perlmonks, but I can't find it now. The advantage of doing it at
runtime is it deals with evals and the like, and it doesn't capture
things that look like calls but aren't like: foo ('bar') if (0);
