Or Path::Class. 10Ã nicer than File::Spec and the entourage of
other path manipulation modules. Also has a direct tie-in for
doing I/O. Best module discovery of 2005 for me. Seriously, itâs
ridiculously much better than what we had before.

(Also, the I/O shortcuts API is not insane like IO::Allâs. Plus
IO::All doesnât help you at all with file paths.)

Err. Do you know how big constant.pm actually is? Ironically,
Glib.pm is required for Gtk2.pm and therefore loaded anyway,
whereas a basic Gtk2-Perl program does not load constant.pm. So
your misguided optimisation is actually a pessimisation.
