NAME

       PerlX::Define - cute syntax for defining constants

SYNOPSIS

          use v5.12;
          use strict;
          use warnings;

          package MyMaths {
             use PerlX::Define;
             define PI = 3.2;
          }

DESCRIPTION

       PerlX::Define is a yet another module for defining constants.

       Differences from constant.pm:

       •   Cute syntax.

           Like constant.pm, constants get defined at compile time, not run time.

       •   Requires Perl 5.12 or above.

           If you're lucky enough to be able to free yourself from the shackles of supporting
           decade-old versions of Perl, PerlX::Define is your friend.

       •   Only supports scalar constants.

           List constants are rarely useful.

           Your constant can of course be a reference to an array or hash, but this module
           doesn't attempt to make the referred-to structure read only.

       •   Doesn't try to handle some of the things constant.pm does like declaring constants
           using fully-qualified names, or defining constants pointing at magic scalars.

       Prior to version 0.100, PerlX::Define was bundled with Moops.
