How can I use a "constant" as a hash key?

$ perl -e 'use constant CAT=>A;
$hash{CAT} = q{Bobby};
$hash{"CAT"} = q{Muffy};
$hash{'CAT'} = q{Fluffy};
$hash{qq{CAT}} = q{Tuffy};
print "$_ = $hash{$_}\n" foreach (keys %hash);'
CAT = Tuffy
$

Want...

A=Bobby

See the "Not-so-symbolic references" section of the perlref.pod man page for some hints:

perldoc perlref

Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you
can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and
in short order.                            -- Larry Wall
