If you define HEAD as a constant, then you cannot change it anymore because it is, indeed, a constant. "ABC" is a string and it is its first element.
If you first define the constant ABC and then the constant HEAD, then you can do the following:
use strict;
use warnings;
use constant ABC=> qw/wet ear rtf/;
use constant HEAD => ABC,qw/DEF GHI/;
print $_ foreach(HEAD);
Is this what you wanted?
