Re^4: Accessing main::Constant

[Anonymous Monk]

I've a similar scenario to be addressed,

I've a hash in the pl file, which I need access it from a module. when Instead of using like $main::VAR->{a}->{b} everytime, Instead I wanted to make it($main:VAR) as a constant and When I need to do that operation, I will be calling it like CONSTANT->{a}->{b}.

Am I doing it right?!

What is the benefit in declaring a constant that contains a reference to a data structure? It doesn't make the child elements readonly...

Also, I avoid use constant wherever possible and use Readonly instead. In my opinion its far more flexible...

Then you are a victim of marketing and hyperbole.
