Re^4: Why is const x const not a const?

Better, name it after its use, rather than its constituents.

use Readonly;
Readonly my $SECTION_SEPARATOR => q{=}x80;

No. You are absolutely wrong on all counts! First. Look at the post I was responding to. The premise was, that it is much clearer from `'=' x 80` that there are 80 '=' than if you used `==================================================================` [download] so your 'correction' is wrong in context. Secondly, your assumption that that string is a "SECTION_SEPERATOR" is wrong. It cannot be right, because you have no basis upon which to reach that conclusion. But mostly, trading use constant for that vacuous, puerile, slow, stupid, braindead, idiotic, stupid -- did I say stupid already? -- worthless, pathetic, fscked-up, oxymoronic piece of crap is ... um .. oh dear, I seems to have run out of appropriate adjectives. Update: Oooh. OOoh! I thought of one: fatuous. ( I didn't use that already did I? ) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
