Constant treated as literal when concatenating at beginning of string

[elliottmina]

I am trying to build a string using a constant, but if I do so with the constant at the beginning of the string, it treats it as a literal.

For example:

use constant FOO => "abc";

print FOO . "def"; # prints FOOdef
print "" . FOO . "def"; # prints abcdef

Any advice? Thanks!

Works for me on the command line using what you posted above.

it should work as you have it, next time use code tags to post your perl code, makes it easier to read.
