But why does it happen with multi-character constant names?
DB<1> use constant foo => 1
DB<2> print 1-foo
Ambiguous use of -foo resolved as -&foo() at (eval 15)[/usr/lib/perl5/
+5.8.0/perl5db.pl:17] line 2.
eval '($@, $!, $^E, $,, $/, $\\, $^W) = @saved;package main; $
+^D = $^D | $DB::db_stop;
print 1-foo;
;' called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/perl5db.pl line 17
DB::eval called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/perl5db.pl line 1323
DB::DB called at -e line 1
0
Same thing happens with FOO.
I don't encounter this problem, because I put spaces between terms and operators. Insert invisible 'nyah nyah' here

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
