NAME

HTTP::Status::Const - interpolable HTTP status constants

VERSION

v0.2.3

SYNOPSIS

use HTTP::Status::Const;

...

$response->status( $HTTP_NOT_FOUND );

...

my %handlers = (
  $HTTP_OK      => sub { ... },
  $HTTP_CREATED => sub { ... },
  ...
);

DESCRIPTION

This module is basically a wrapper around HTTP::Status that allows you to use the constants as read-only scalar variables instead of function names.

This means the constants can be used in contexts where you need interpolated variables, such as hash keys or in strings.

Do I really need this?

No. You can get interpolated constants already, with some ugly syntax:

my %handlers = (
  HTTP_OK() => sub { ... },
);

or

"Status code ${ \HTTP_OK }"

So all this module gives you is some stylistic convenience, at the expense of additional dependencies (although ones that may be used by other modules).
