This is probably overkill, but you can create a tied object wrapper to do the look ups. This will be a bit slow, but if you dont need speed, it might be interesting to look at.

use strict;
my $str = "foobar";
my $c = MyConstants->new();

print "str = $str\n";
$str =~ s/$c->{Foo}/$c->{Bar}/;
print "str = $str\n";
print "Bar = $c->{bar}";


package MyConstants;

use constant Foo => "foo";
use constant Bar => "bar";

use Tie::Hash;
use base qw(Tie::StdHash);
use Carp qw(croak);

sub new {
    tie my %self,  $_[0];
    return bless \%self, $_[0];
}

sub FETCH {
    if( $_[0]->can($_[1]) ) {
        goto &{$_[1]};
    } else {
        croak("Undefined constant \"$_[1]\" called");
    }
}

results:

str = foobar
str = barbar
Undefined constant "bar" called at /tmp/test.pl line 8

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
