NAME PerlX::Define - cute syntax for defining constants SYNOPSIS use v5.12; use strict; use warnings; package MyMaths { use PerlX::Define; define PI = 3.2; } DESCRIPTION PerlX::Define is a yet another module for defining constants. Differences from constant.pm: * Cute syntax. Like constant.pm, constants get defined at compile time, not run time. * Requires Perl 5.12 or above. If you're lucky enough to be able to free yourself from the shackles of supporting decade-old versions of Perl, PerlX::Define is your friend. * Only supports scalar constants. List constants are rarely useful. Your constant can of course be a reference to an array or hash, but this module doesn't attempt to make the referred-to structure read only. * Doesn't try to handle some of the things constant.pm does like declaring constants using fully-qualified names, or defining constants pointing at magic scalars. Prior to version 0.100, PerlX::Define was bundled with Moops. BUGS Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=PerlX-Define>. SEE ALSO constant. Moops.
