Re^2: 5.10: Are scoped constants possible?

Indirectly you led me to this extract from Perl 5.10 delta

$^H and %^H
The implementation of the special variables $^H and %^H has changed, to allow implementing lexical pragmas in pure Perl.

And that leads to perlpragma which should allow what I want. Thanks.

If you get this to work with constants, please do post how. It's not really clear to me how I would have to tweak the myint sample given in perlpragma to provide lexically scoped constants.	[reply]

See the last line of TedYoung's post for a wrinkle that had failed to make itself known within my conciousness.
