This is encoded in the Location object. In fact if the location is not 
exact we create a "fuzzy" location, you can just test if it is-a 
Bio::Location::FuzzyLocationI.

More properly (if you only cared about proteins that were incomplete in 
C-terminus or N-terminus) - You just need to check the  start_pos_type 
and  end_pos_type of the location. If they are 'EXACT' then the 
position is, well, exact.
if( $f->location->start_pos_type eq 'EXACT' && 
$f->location->end_pos_type eq 'EXACT' ) {
}
