You can also define bitmask constants, where the value assigned to each constant has exactly one bit set (eg 1, 2, 4, 8, etc). What are enumerations good for? Typical uses would be for giving mnemonic names to indexes of arrays. Such arrays might be a list of months, days, or a return value index from a function such as localtime(): use enum qw( :Months_=0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec :Days_=0 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat :LC_=0 Sec Min Hour MDay Mon Year WDay YDay Isdst ); if ((localtime)[LC_Mon] == Months_Jan) { print "It's January!\n"; } if ((localtime)[LC_WDay] == Days_Fri) { print "It's Friday!\n"; } This not only reads easier, but can also be typo-checked at compile time when run under *use strict*. That is, if you misspell *Days_Fri* as *Days_Fry*, you'll generate a compile error. %prep %setup -q -n %{cpan_name}-%{version} %build %{__perl} Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor %{__make} %{?_smp_mflags} %check %{__make} test %install %perl_make_install %perl_process_packlist %perl_gen_filelist %files -f %{name}.files %defattr(-,root,root,755) %doc Changes README %changelog * Wed Oct 28 2015 coolo@suse.com - updated to 1.11 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-enum/Changes 1.11 2015-10-27 NEILB - Updated github repo URL after changing my github username * Mon Apr 13 2015 coolo@suse.com - updated to 1.10 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-enum/Changes * Sun May 1 2011 coolo@opensuse.org - initial package 1.016 * created by cpanspec 1.78.04
