Forgive my ignorance here, but for all of these different ways of doing

my $gravity is constant = 10; # One significant figure

...acceleration math...
}
my $time = time_to_ground( 500, $gravity );
... thus simplifying internally to

No. But you could get the effect by explicitly asking for time_to_ground() to
be called at compile-time:
my $gravity is constant = 10; # One significant figure
macro time_to_ground ($height, $accel) {
...acceleration math...
}
my $time = time_to_ground( 500, $gravity );
