The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Devel::Constants
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: Resolve Constants back to their names
userid: CHROMATIC (chromatic)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=117349
similar:
constant
rationale:
Devel::Constants captures constant declarations (with the constant
pragma), allowing values to be resolved to their symbols at runtime.
It has a special method to resolve bitwise flag markers, such as
those found in a TCP packet.
This can be very convenient when dealing with users -- names are
more convenient than magic numbers, which is why constant
declaration is possible in the first place.
The Perlmonks discussion used a namespace related to the 'constant'
pragmata. The current suggestion seems more appropriate, as the
scope of the module has expanded somewhat.
