in thread WWW::Mechanize “use constant xx” gets bareword error

There is ExtUtils::Constant to import C header constants via XS, but I can't see lowercase constant anywhere in the ExtUtils namespace.

    Windows treats Constant.pm as being the same file as constant.pm, that is, you can't have both at the same time in the same directory.

    Renaming Constant.pm to constant.pm changes nothing. In both cases the error references the lowercase file.

      But Perl doesn't treat them the same. Moreover, use constant ... shouldn't look into ExtUtils namespace, as it doesn't say use ExtUtils::constant. Something's very wrong with your setup.

      Hi,

      Where is the version information as provided by Devel::Modlist?

      ? What do you get as output from command       perl -V ?

      Blind guess, I  cpanm ExtUtils::MakeMaker and friends, cause ActiveState has patched that before and broken it

        perl 5, version 24, subversion 2 (v5.24.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread is the version information. I can’t use Devel::Modlist since it produces the same error.
