NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma - Don't "use constant
       FOO => 15".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Named constants are a good thing.  But don't use the "constant" pragma because barewords
       don't interpolate.  Instead use the Readonly module.

         use constant FOOBAR => 42;  #not ok

         use Readonly;
         Readonly my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok
         Readonly::Scalar my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
