Description: perl module for sets of ordered constants like enums in C
The enum module defines a set of symbolic constants with ordered numeric
values ala C enum types.
.
It is now capable of creating ordered bitmask constants as well. See the
BITMASKS section in the documentation for details.
.
What are they good for? Typical uses would be for giving mnemonic names to
indexes of arrays. Such arrays might be a list of months, days, or a return
value index from a function such as localtime().
