All,
I don't believe I've seen this syntax before?
use constant SECRET_LENGTH => 14;

It is often more readable to use the => operator between key/value pairs. The => operator is mostly just a more visually distinctive synonym for a comma, but it also arranges for its left-hand operand to be interpreted as a string -- if it's a bareword that would be a legal simple identifier (=> doesn't quote compound identifiers, that contain double colons). This makes it nice for initializing hashes:
