Devel::GlobalPhase - Detect perl's global phase on older perls.
use Devel::GlobalPhase; print global_phase; # RUN use Devel::GlobalPhase -var; print ${^GLOBAL_PHASE}; # RUN
Gives you the value perlvar/${^GLOBAL_PHASE} would in perls it doesn't exist in. The built in variable will be used if it is available.
If all that is needed is detecting global destruction, Devel::GlobalDestruction should be used instead of this module.
Returns the global phase either from ${^GLOBAL_PHASE} or by calculating it.
${^GLOBAL_PHASE}
If this option is specified on import, the global variable ${^GLOBAL_PHASE} will be created if it doesn't exist, emulating the built in variable from newer perls.
There are tricks that can be played with B that would fool this module for the INIT phase.
