in reply to Location of 'use' statements
Number 3 of course! Putting anything before your package statement is just wierd, and pragmas and inheritance are more important than external libraries. I would consider "use constant" a totally different kind of thing and put it after everything else with a blank line above it. (Actually, I would just not use that annoying thing, but that's a different story.)

I for one would like to hear that story. I don't use them often, primarily for real constants (like OS constants and the like) and things like DEBUG. But I'm curious if theres some trap or zap that I havent quite fallen into that I aught to know about?

This means that they break (silently) if you try to use them as hash keys, in double-quoted strings, or any other place where barewords are not interpreted as sub calls.
Hmm. *grin* I can't recall being bitten by those things. I've used constants for array indexes on occasion, but never hash indexes. But its good to keep in mind. Thanks.
