Huh?

then why am I bothering with:

use constant PI   => atan2(1,1) * 4.0;

Still, there's no need to define Truth within Perl.  It's not like C, 
where you don't know what truth is unless someone tells you.  Better to 
leave the constants pragma for important values like pi, and defining 
thing like deg2rad (there's a fine example in the pod for constant.pm of 
just such a thing (better even than from Math::Trig, which actually pulls 
out "use constant" to define PI and a whole buncha other stuff.

Not Perl?
