in reply to What is the difference between the constant construct in Perl and the Readonly construct in Perl?
If some more of perl6 makes it into perl5 we might have a third option before long--a constant declarator. Here's what it will look like in perl6:
See the section of Synopsis 3 on declarators for more info.constant $PI = 3.141593;
This should be easy to hack into perl5 for scalars, but I'm not sure about arrays and such.
