Why not adopt me?
NAME
HTTP::Status::Const - interpolable HTTP status constants
VERSION
v0.3.0
SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Status::Const;
...
$response->status( $HTTP_NOT_FOUND );
...
my %handlers = (
$HTTP_OK => sub { ... },
$HTTP_CREATED => sub { ... },
...
);DESCRIPTION
This module is basically a wrapper around HTTP::Status that allows you to use the constants as read-only scalar variables instead of function names.
This means the constants can be used in contexts where you need interpolated variables, such as hash keys or in strings.
Do I really need this?
No. You can get interpolated constants already, with some ugly syntax:
my %handlers = (
HTTP_OK() => sub { ... },
);or
"Status code ${ \HTTP_OK }"So all this module gives you is some stylistic convenience, at the expense of additional dependencies (although ones that may be used by other modules).
