But useful for redefining pi, or perhaps G, I suppose. In general the answer is no. But if you can live with a mandatory warning and the knowledge that you have lied to perl (and you understand the effects that brings, specifically with respect to constant propagation) then go ahead and do it. It's not a good idea, but it's not in perl's nature to pretend that she knows better than you, even if she does. If you want a constant that varies, can you not just use a variable? -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
