How To Install libperlx-define-perl on Ubuntu 22.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libperlx-define-perl
on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is libperlx-define-perl
libperlx-define-perl is:
PerlX::Define is a yet another module for defining constants.
Differences from constant.pm:
- Cute syntax. Like constant.pm, constants get defined at compile time, not run time.
- Requires Perl 5.12 or above. If you’re lucky enough to be able to free yourself from the shackles of supporting decade-old versions of Perl, PerlX::Define is your friend.
- Only supports scalar constants. List constants are rarely useful. Your constant can of course be a reference to an array or hash, but this module doesn’t attempt to make the referred-to structure read only.
- Doesn’t try to handle some of the things constant.pm does like declaring constants using fully-qualified names, or defining constants pointing at magic scalars.
Prior to version 0.100, PerlX::Define was bundled with Moops.
