This may seem like a dumb question but I've only just got back into perl
after a few years. I would be very grateful if someonme could answer this...

I'm trying to define constants which can be used across multiple source
files. This:

use constanr MY_CONSTANT => 5;

seems to only work if it's put in the main source file. How do I rectify
this so it can be used when it's defined in another source file?

Many thanks,

Troy Knight
