Need Help??

When did this form become valid? I used on my dev box (5.28) but on production (5.16) I get a syntax error and need to use

use constant {true=>1,false=>0}

Interestingly, it's a difference in Perl parser, not in constant. As usually, help the parser by telling it the `{` doesn't start a block, but a hash reference: `use constant +{ qw( true 1 false 0 ) };` [download] `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

perldelta for 5.18.0 says: use no longer tries to parse its arguments as a statement, making `use constant { () };` a syntax error (perl #114222). which I believe refers to this.	[reply] [d/l]
