NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitConstantPragma -
       Don't "use constant FOO => 15".

AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION
       Named constants are a good thing.  But don't use the "constant" pragma
       because barewords don't interpolate.  Instead use the Readonly module.

         use constant FOOBAR => 42;  #not ok

         use Readonly;
         Readonly my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok
         Readonly::Scalar my $FOOBAR => 42;  #ok

CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
