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.
