C style enumerated types and bitmask flags
Project homepage: https://metacpan.org/release/enum
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.
