According to the constant pragma page, constants declared using the constant pragma, can be exported. The question is, how?

I have tried to export them as below, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work.

package MyPackage;
use Data::Dumper;
use 5.006;
use Tests;
use constant {
   VALID => 1,
   INVALID => 2,
   ERROR => 0,
   };
use strict;
use warnings;

require Exporter;
use AutoLoader qw(AUTOLOAD);

our @ISA = qw(Exporter);

our %EXPORT_TAGS = (
   'all' => [ qw(VALID INVALID ERROR) ],
   'codes' => [ qw(VALID INVALID ERROR)],
);

our @EXPORT_OK = qw(@{ $EXPORT_TAGS{'all'} });

our @EXPORT = qw();  #Intentionally left blank

our $VERSION = v0.0.1;

[download]

When I use MyPackage qw(:all); and then attempt to use the VALID, INVALID or ERROR constants, I get error messages saying bareword "VALID" not allowed while "strict subs". Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks




My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
