Description-en: module providing aliases for __PACKAGE__
CLASS is a minimalistic Perl module that simply provides aliases for the
special literal, __PACKAGE__, which represents the current package name at
that point during program execution. The aliases are mapped at compile-time,
so there is no performance hit except for compilation of the module itself.
.
This module ensures that CLASS and $CLASS can be used anywhere in place of
__PACKAGE__, and since $CLASS is a scalar, it has the additional benefit of
working in strings.
