When I write a 'getter' of a static value, not used by other methods in the same module, I tend to write:

package Foo;
sub bar {27;}
1;
[download]

If more than one method in my module needs this value, then I let the other methods all use the first method, the one having the value hard coded (in this case 'bar').

Any pros and cons to this approach?
