How about variables that contain constant values
Simply build a function that returns the variables.
You could, but it's perfectly fine to export constants. I'd make them look like constants, though. In fact, I don't see why we couldn't make them actual constants.
package PkgA;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter qw( import );
my %max_text_constants;
my @max_text_constants;
BEGIN {
%max_text_constants = (
TINY_TEXT_MAX_LEN => 100,
TEXT_MAX_LEN => 200,
MEDIUM_TEXT_MAX_LEN => 500,
LONG_TEXT_MAX_LEN => 2000,
);
@max_text_constants = keys(%max_text_constants);
}
use constant \%max_text_constants;
our @EXPORT_OK = (
@max_text_constants,
...
);
our @EXPORT_TAGS = (
max_text => \@max_text_constants,
...
all => \@EXPORT_OK,
);
1;
use PkgA qw( LONG_TEXT_MAX_LEN );
use PkgA qw( :max_text );
use PkgA qw( :all );

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
