NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma - Don't use constant FOO => 15.

AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Named constants are a good thing. But don't use the constant pragma because barewords don't interpolate. Instead use the Readonly module.

            

              
              
use constant FOOBAR => 42;  #not ok
use Readonly;
Readonly my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok
Readonly::Scalar my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok
            
          

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
