the constant pragma (or Readonly) does express intent better than prototyped subroutines named with uppercase letters that return constant values. That doesn't apply to the problem here. The issue here seems to be how to have a module full of constants that can be used in a (or more likely many different) modules, and the constant pragma doesn't implement that part of the solution. Mike's suggestion about exporting makes sense, but the one thing that seems a bit odd is that Greg's example didn't have separate packages for the separate files. Exporting is from one package to another, and a separate file doesn't create an implicit package. (it could be the packages were stripped in the "simplified" example posted but were in Greg's original code.) _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
