Subject: Constants across package boundaries
I've been chasing a compile problem  and I just saw the light on what
my trouble is: I use a bunch of "use constant this => ...; use
constant that =>...;" to set parameters for the program.  BUT: the
program uses a 'package' or two [it has a small embedded objects in
it].  The trouble is that the package can't access the 'constant' --
that section of the program gets [not surprisingly] bareword errors.
I can fix them by using "main::..." but that's really ugly.  Is there
any really clean way to set up truly "global" constants?  Thanks!
