Thanks for pointing this out. I actually remember the discussion on p5p and it was interesting, see the CLONE_SKIP story.

So the underscore is not so good actually :(. The next best thing could be a simple "postfix".

use constant MYPACKAGE_c  => 'Universe::Tiny';
use constant RWXu         => 0700;
use constant MYLOGGERc    => \do{local *FH; *FH};

Actually a postfix like "c" or "_c" (or even "const" if you don't feel lazy) is good *visually* to remember they are gotchas like remembering when {}ing is actually necessary! (stressed by PBP)

MYPACKAGE_c->factory();

print {LOGGERc} "important login data";

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use constant LOGGERc => \do{local *FH; *FH}; # silence warnings

open  LOGGERc, ">mylog" or die; # gotcha
print {LOGGERc}  "info...", "\n" or die;
print {\*STDOUT} qx(cat mylog);
