Re^2: Clean way to export all constants at once

Thank you for the fast reply :D ... I realize that i still have to list the constants once in global_constants.pm or else it gives me an error

our @EXPORT_OK = ('CURRENTCHANGE','BLDNUM','STAGEROOTDIR','WEBREPORTDI
+R');
our %EXPORT_TAGS = (all => \@EXPORT_OK);

This is great but can I push it further so that I wouldn't have to list even in global_constants.pm? Thanks a lot.

Instead of using the constant pragma, I'd use the Readonly module and create a readonly hash which is exported. You could even take it a step further and define individual lexical scalars in your module and export a readonly dispatch table of anonymous subs that return the individual scalar values. You may also want to read this review http://neilb.org/reviews/constants.html of 21 different modules that can be used to define constants.	[reply]

Readonly seems fine but I prefer tobyinc's way ...Thanks for the reply	[reply]

You might be able to use Readonly to built up a list of constant names.	[reply]
