Hello monks, I'm having no luck trying to access constants defined and exported in one module to a lower level module:
MyMod.pm ======== use strict; use warnings; package MyMod; use Exporter (); use vars qw (@EXPORT @EXPORT_OK); use constant MYMOD_DEFAULT => 1; BEGIN { @EXPORT = (); @EXPORT_OK = (MYMOD_DEFAULT); }; use MyMod::db; 1; MyMod/db.pm =========== use strict; use warnings; package MyMod::db; sub fred { print "hello" if (MYMOD_DEFAULT); } 1;
perl -cw MyMod.pm

Bareword "MYMOD_DEFAULT" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at MyMod/db.pm line 5. Compilation failed in require at MyMod.pm line 12. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at MyMod.pm line 12.

I saw the thread at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=384405 and the answer by ysth sounded like it worked but I cannot make it work for me.

Hope you can help.
