Dear Jeff,

> what is the best way to define a package constant? If I do

  I think something like:
package PKGNAME;
use constant var => "foo";

  might work.

>     package PKGNAME;
>     $PKGNAME::var = "foo";
> 
> the variable can be modified outside the package. But I don;t want that.
> Or I can make it a my and create a get routine for it. Or what?
