Hi all:
This is probably my lack of Perl knowledge showing... but where would be
the best-practice place to put constants in my code? I'm talking about
magic numbers that I use internally but need to reference in multiple
locations of the code. Things like
VENDOR_COMMIT = 1,

Although I think there is no best practice as such, I mean there are
many ways to do this in Perl in general, but Catalyst offers the nice
feature of the main config file in YAML, so I keep all my constants

I thought about putting constants in $c-config, but decided not to
mostly because it would allow a malicious (or ignorant) user to
completely screw up my app. A constant should be, uh... constant!
I have been resisting learning YAML, mostly because I am learning so
many new things right now

Yeah well, that is [TIMTOWTDI] the beauty of the Perl world, is
precisely that the is not _one_ best practice. Apart from Conway's
PBPs which a) apply to mostly any language anyway, and b) are just
that: _recommended_ PBPs, so it really doesn't contradict _the_ Zen of
Perl (pun intended),
Yes of course, makes sense. Besides constants should use constant
also. Nevertheless, it is quite common to confuse/abuse constants with
'configuration constants' which should go perfectly in your main yaml
config file. My bad for not clarifying this.

use constant {
THING_FOO = 0,
THING_BAR = 1,
};
As we steadily go offtopic, I thought use Readonly was preferred
over use constant nowadays? Not that I remember the arguments why.
Anyone else have an opinion here?

Hi John:
You lost me. I could probably figure out what you are saying, but would
you be willing to send some sample code illustrating what you're talking
about? That would be very helpful to me, and possibly others. Thanks!

I'm doing pretty much the same thing, although I dislike the fact that
declaring/exporting constants tends to be very verbose. You have to name
those constants both in use constant and when declaring them in
EXPORT_OK and/or EXPORT_TAGS.
The following sample is what suits me best for now:

Howdy all,
I'm quite perplexed about some behavior from Plugin::Authentication.
I'm trying to get a Catalyst app running on a new machine, but
Authentication isn't reading any realms from my config. The config
file is definitely getting read otherwise, and I can see my
authentication realms
