Suggestions related to dualvar feature of Constant::Generate

I like the idea of Dual-var constants! I think it would be clearer if the 'dualvar' name was used throughout. So instead of a 'stringy_vars' option, it would have a 'dualvar' option. I know this is the same as the name of the function in Scalar::Util, but because it's used in dualvar => 1 then this works ok. And the class could also be Constant::Generate::Dualvar, rather than Constant::Generate::Stringified. Finally, I think you could just not mention the Constant::Generate::Stringified module anyway. The option fits in with the rest of the interface, and the user doesn't really need to know about the other class (though it could be mentioned in a note at the end of the pod, perhaps).

Fixed in 0.15 The dual-var constant was a feature suggestion from PEVANS, and I really haven't used it much myself (because of the fact I generally receive constants from non-Perl origins). I was prompted to view the RT after I saw a fork on github. On Sun Jan 22 18:16:13 2012, NEILB wrote: Show quoted text

Ha! I'd forked it so I could address those issues sometime this week. Beaten to the draw! BTW, email to your CPAN email address bounced. neil

I do not know how to configure my CPAN or rt email address. I seem to never get any notifications from these channels.

(1) go to pause.perl.org (2) login (3) near the bottom of the sidebar menu there's an option "Edit Account Info" If that fails, you could probably email Andreas Koenig and tell him the new email address to use. You can also tell him a secret email address, which won't ever be published, but is used when PAUSE needs to communicate with you. Not sure if RT gets access to that email address ...
