| Summary : strongly suggests proper respect for the Tao
|
Description :
Everyone knows that the Tao is not constant. But some people just might not
get it. To make sure no one tries to use constant Tao in a program with
your module, put a \'use Acme::Tao\' at the top of your code. If Tao has been
made constant by time your module is used, Acme::Tao may die with a nice
message. Note that the package in which Tao is constant is irrelavent.
On a walk between shrines in Nikko, Japan, I had an epiphany: if the Tao is
not constant, than neither should Acme::Tao be constant.
The Tao doesn\'t take sides;
it gives birth to both wins and losses.
Acme::Tao doesn\'t take sides either, at least not consistently. It will
sometimes die and sometimes not (50% chance of it doing so), in accordance
with its understanding of the nature of the Tao.
As Lao-tzu teaches, \"The name that can be named is not the constant name,\"
and Acme::Tao can *also* be used to check for any other symbols you might
not want to have as constants. When used in this fashion, it will always
try to work.
For example:
use Acme::Tao qw(foo);
This will die if \'foo\' is defined as a constant in the current package.
use Acme::Tao qw(::foo);
This will die if \'foo\' is defined as a constant in the \'main::\' package.
This is the same as \'main::foo\'.
If Acme::Tao is checking for particular symbols, it will not check for a
constant Tao.
