The devel/p5-enum port
p5-enum-1.12v0 – C style enumerated types and bitmask flags (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
Defines a set of symbolic constants with ordered numeric values ala C enum types. What are they good for? Typical uses would be for giving mnemonic names to indexes of arrays. 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. Also capable of creating ordered bitmask constants, allowing the easy creation of bitmask constants, allowing you to efficiently store many true/false options within a single integer.WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/enum
