Declaring constants is very convenient for writing programs, but as
|
||
|
|
they're often inlined by Perl, retrieving their symbolic names can be
|
||
|
|
tricky. This is made worse with lowlevel modules that use constants for
|
||
|
|
bit-twiddling.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Devel::Constants makes this much more manageable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It silently wraps around the constant module, intercepting all constant
|
||
|
|
declarations. It builds a hash, associating the values to their names.
|
||
|
|
The names can then be retrieved as necessary.
