This specific problem is not a deal breaker in practice. You solve the problem by adding to the readme of the tool "If the arity of a function cannot be established, we assume no arguments and print an warning. Add {foobar} before the function to assume arguments. Sorry for inconvenience."

No language tooling is perfect. We shouldn't expect that from Perl tooling either.

Java and C# tools are pretty close. But yeah, it's generally hard for dynamic languages.
