+%description constant
+This pragma allows you to declare constants at compile-time:
+
+use constant PI => 4 * atan2(1, 1);
+
+When you declare a constant such as "PI" using the method shown above,
+each machine your script runs upon can have as many digits of accuracy
+as it can use. Also, your program will be easier to read, more likely
+to be maintained (and maintained correctly), and far less likely to
+send a space probe to the wrong planet because nobody noticed the one
+equation in which you wrote 3.14195.
+
+When a constant is used in an expression, Perl replaces it with its
+value at compile time, and may then optimize the expression further.
+In particular, any code in an "if (CONSTANT)" block will be optimized
+away if the constant is false.
