Here's a little snippet to dump the constants declared by constant.pm in the current package:

  sub dump_consts_in_current_package {
    no strict 'refs';
    printf "%s => %s\n", $_, join ', ', $_->()
      foreach grep $_ =~ ('^' . __PACKAGE__ . '::'), keys %constant::d
+eclared;
  }

A brief explanation of the code. Constants are special subroutines, check out perlsub, but can still be called as any other subroutine. I choose to treat it as a symbolic reference, and dereference it immediately with the arrow notation; see perlref. To get only the current package's constants I use grep() to filter out those that begin with the current package's name. The perhaps unusual pattern is nothing but an expression that's later interpreted as a pattern.

That's it. :)

(As a side-note: The grep() above won't be slow because of the "special" pattern. __PACKAGE__ is compile-time so a constant will be folded in, and two constants concatenated is optimized to be just one constant. This in combination with that identical patterns at the same place won't recompile makes this not impose any overhead. You could interpolate __PACKAGE__ and use the o modifier to make the pattern compile at program compile-time. (Update: If I interpolate it won't be precompiled anyway... so the only thing gained by using the o modifier is that reinterpolation won't occure.) But the o modifier doesn't work in activeperl, at least not my activeperl, so I never use it. (Update: Clarification per request: With the o modifier I mean the "compile only once" modifier you can put on pattern quote ops, like m/PATTERN/o.)

Hope I've helped,
