Re^5: how to create a constant file and use it in other file by oko1 (Deacon) on Jul 16, 2008 at 03:05 UTC
Here's a fairly simple method: `# The 'source' file ("constants.plx") use constant { FOO => 1, BAR => 2, QUX => 3 };` [download] And in the code, when you want to use these constants: `#!/usr/bin/perl -wl BEGIN { do "constants.plx"; } print "Foo: ". FOO. "\nBar: ". BAR. "\nQux: ". QUX;` [download] This results in `Foo: 1 Bar: 2 Qux: 3` [download] For more info, see "perldoc constant" and "perldoc -f do" (the 'do EXPR' section.) -- Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. -- HG Wells	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This method is a work-around and it works well, indeed. However, it doesn't address the OP's exporting everything automatically request, IMHO. Update: See my proposal above.	[reply]
