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.
