in reply to Re^2: Typeglobs and constant variables
in thread Typeglobs and constant variables

My preference would be for Const::Fast. My reasons for this are in "Re: Use of Constants"

One caveat -- beside the build problem -- of that module that it fails to mention, is that its "constants" aren't (compile-time) constants, but rather runtime variables that cannot be varied [sic], and thus they do not trigger Perl's compile-time optimisations.

For me, that issue alone negate the purpose of using constants almost completely. Combined with the other two issues render it a non starter.
