Re: Constants lists in array slices

[LanX]

answering my own question:

Testing with 5.24 shows constant folding of lists to work:

X:\>perl -MO=Deparse -e"use constant L=>1,2,3; print @a[L]"
use constant ('L', 1, 2, 3);
print @a[1..3];
-e syntax OK

seems like constant folding of lists was only added "some years" ago. ;-)

update

for comparison 5.18

D:\>perl -MO=Deparse -e"use constant L=>1,2,3; print @a[L]"
use constant ('L', 1, 2, 3);
print @a[L()];
