in thread 2*pi*$r -- constant function without prototype

As long as your going to use ${} to interpolate vars into strings, which is generally a good idea. Then you can use constants in a similar way with a single extra '\' character:

use constant NL => "\012";; print "fred${\NL}bill${\NL}";; fred bill

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
