NAME
constant - Perl pragma to declare constants
DESCRIPTION
This pragma allows you to declare constants at compile-time.
When a constant is used in an expression, Perl replaces it with its
value at compile time, and may then optimize the expression further.
In particular, any code in an "if (CONSTANT)" block will be optimized
away if the constant is false.
