ExtUtil...nstants(3pm)
π NAME π
Okay bestie, welcome to the ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. The vibe? Initialization values for some globals β that's literally the name: ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants. β¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
Use it like this, exactly:
use ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants ();
$PrototypeRegexp = $ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants::PrototypeRegexp;
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
So here's what's going on: initialization of certain non-subroutine variables in ExtUtils::ParseXS and some of its supporting packages has been moved into this package. Why? So those values can be defined exactly once and then re-used in any package. That's the whole point, and it's lowkey iconic. π
Nothing is exported. Use fully qualified variable names. Fr fr, no sneaky shortcuts with the variable names here. π«Ά
