This is not yet working - the enum constructor expects the occasional aligning value, then a list of strings which it increments the value for. I tried coercing all the values to arrayrefs with pair, but the constructor is so-far unhappy with this.
It should at least show off how this should work. The parameter to your FFI bound function should now be a string, e.g. 'KEY_A', and functions can also be coerced into returning string constants - see return type for
GetKeyPressed.It's not a radical departure API-wise - rlt-01.pl should reflect the required changes from the end-user POV.
edit The main advantage of this is that you don't have to worry about importing constants into your namespace.
