I've been looking at the source for the pm and wonder if I shouldn't imitate it in significant ways. source listing for Translate.pm For example, should I use Readonly for these values?

my ( $REST_HOST, $REST_URL, $CONSOLE_URL, %SIZE_LIMIT_FOR );
{
    Readonly $REST_HOST      => 'translation.googleapis.com';
    Readonly $REST_URL       => "https://$REST_HOST/language/translate
+/v2";
    Readonly $CONSOLE_URL    => "https://console.developers.google.com
+/cloud-resource-manager";
    Readonly %SIZE_LIMIT_FOR => (
        translate => 2000,    # google states 2K but observed results 
+vary
        detect    => 2000,
        languages => 9999,    # N/A
    );
}

Also, I want to build a central hash to store the data. Values would go in with Getopt::Long and end up in %self . This treatment creates a class of it. One thing I don't see is where the value of $class gets passed to the sub new:

sub new {
    my ( $class, $param_hr ) = @_;
 
    my %self = (
        key            => 0,
        format         => 0,
        model          => 0,
        prettyprint    => 0,
        default_source => 0,
        default_target => 0,
        data_format    => 'perl',
        timeout        => 60,
        force_post     => 0,
        rest_url       => $REST_URL,
        agent          => ( sprintf '%s/%s', __PACKAGE__, $VERSION ),
        cache_file     => 0,
        headers        => {},
    );
