I personally would recommend using a constant if there's a possibility of constant folding:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl use O qw/ Deparse /; use constant CONDITION => 0; if( CONDITION ) { print "condition true\n"; } else { print "condition false\n"; } __END__ ## and here's the output. notice that there are ## no if's me@myhost> ./test.pl ./test.pl syntax OK sub CONDITION () { package constant; $scalar; } print "condition false\n";;

Otherwise I guess I could care less, but I use it more for a mental note than anything else -- it makes me aware that this value should be a constant
