Why I can get subroutine address before it is declared without error?

I have next program:

use warnings;
use strict;

BEGIN {
    print \&mysub;
}


sub mysub {};

print \&mysub;

Its output:

CODE(0x118e890)CODE(0x118e890)

The BEGIN block is processed in compile time. At that point definition of sub mysub is not seen by compiler yet. But program still prints right subroutine address, which it will have when defined.

Why I do not get error here? Is this some sort of autovivification?
