+=item A thread exited while %d other threads were still running
+
+(W) When using threaded Perl, a thread (not necessarily the main
+thread) exited while there were still other threads running.
+Usually it's a good idea to first collect the return values of the
+created threads by joining them, and only then exit from then main
+thread. See L<threads>.
+
=item accept() on closed socket %s
(W closed) You tried to do an accept on a closed socket. Did you forget
must either both be scalars or both be lists. Otherwise Perl won't
know which context to supply to the right side.
-=item Negative offset to vec in lvalue context
+=item Attempt to access disallowed key '%s' in a restricted hash
-(F) When C<vec> is called in an lvalue context, the second argument must be
-greater than or equal to zero.
+(F) The failing code has attempted to get or set a key which is not in
+the current set of allowed keys of a restricted hash.
+
+=item Attempt to clear a restricted hash
+
+(F) It is currently not allowed to clear a restricted hash, even if the
+new hash would contain the same keys as before. This may change in
+the future.
+
+=item Attempt to delete readonly key '%s' from a restricted hash
+
+(F) The failing code attempted to delete a key whose value has been
+declared readonly from a restricted hash.
-=item Attempt to access to key '%_' in fixed hash
+=item Attempt to delete disallowed key '%s' from a restricted hash
-(F) A hash has been marked as READONLY at the C level to turn it
-into a "record" with a fixed set of keys. The failing code
-has attempted to get or set the value of a key which does not
-exist or to delete a key.
+(F) The failing code attempted to delete from a restricted hash a key
+which is not in its key set.
=item Attempt to bless into a reference

possible C<\E>).
functioning as a class, but that package doesn't define that particular
method, nor does any of its base classes. See L<perlobj>.
+=item Can't locate PerlIO%s
+
+(F) You tried to use in open() a PerlIO layer that does not exist,
+e.g. open(FH, ">:nosuchlayer", "somefile").
+
=item (perhaps you forgot to load "%s"?)
(F) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message
is because you don't have read permission for a file which you named on
the command line.
+=item Can't open a reference
+
+(W io) You tried to open a scalar reference for reading or writing,
+using the 3-arg open() syntax :
+
+ open FH, '>', $ref;
+
+but your version of perl is compiled without perlio, and this form of
+open is not supported.
+
=item Can't open bidirectional pipe
(W pipe) You tried to say C<open(CMD, "|cmd|")>, which is not supported.
that it is simpler or backtracks less. (See L<perlfaq2> for information
on I<Mastering Regular Expressions>.)
+=item cond_broadcast() called on unlocked variable
+
+(W threads) Within a thread-enabled program, you tried to call
+cond_broadcast() on a variable which wasn't locked. The cond_broadcast()
+function is used to wake up another thread that is waiting in a
+cond_wait(). To ensure that the signal isn't sent before the other thread
+has a chance to enter the wait, it is usual for the signaling thread to
+first wait for a lock on variable. This lock attempt will only succeed
+after the other thread has entered cond_wait() and thus relinquished the
+lock.
+
+
+=item cond_signal() called on unlocked variable
+
+(W threads) Within a thread-enabled program, you tried to call
+cond_signal() on a variable which wasn't locked. The cond_signal()
+function is used to wake up another thread that is waiting in a
+cond_wait(). To ensure that the signal isn't sent before the other thread

checks for an undefined I<scalar> value. If you want to see if the hash
is empty, just use C<if (%hash) { # not empty }> for example.
+=item %s defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed
+
+(F) You said something like "use Module 42" but in the Module file
+there are neither package declarations nor a C<$VERSION>.
+
=item Delimiter for here document is too long
(F) In a here document construct like C<<<FOO>, the label C<FOO> is too
See Server error.

+
+(F) You said something like "use Module 42" but the Module did not
+define a C<$VERSION.>
+
=item Don't know how to handle magic of type '%s'
(P) The internal handling of magical variables has been cursed.
=item Empty %s
-(F) Empty C<\p{}> or C<\P{}>.
+(F) C<\p> and C<\P> are used to introduce a named Unicode property, as
+described in L<perlunicode> and L<perlre>. You used C<\p> or C<\P> in
+a regular expression without specifying the property name.
=item entering effective %s failed
filenames, try using the glob() operator, or put the filenames into a
variable and glob that.
+=item exec? I'm not *that* kind of operating system

=item Execution of %s aborted due to compilation errors
(F) The final summary message when a Perl compilation fails.
=item Exiting format via %s
-(W exiting) You are exiting an eval by unconventional means, such as a
+(W exiting) You are exiting a format by unconventional means, such as a
goto, or a loop control statement.
=item Exiting pseudo-block via %s
(F) Unlike with "next" or "last", you're not allowed to goto an
unspecified destination. See L<perlfunc/goto>.
+=item %s-group starts with a count
+
+(F) In pack/unpack a ()-group started with a count. A count is
+supposed to follow something: a template character or a ()-group.
+
=item %s had compilation errors
(F) The final summary message when a C<perl -c> fails.
Failure of user callbacks dispatched using the C<G_KEEPERR> flag could
also result in this warning. See L<perlcall/G_KEEPERR>.
+=item In EBCDIC the v-string components cannot exceed 2147483647
+
+(F) An error peculiar to EBCDIC. Internally, v-strings are stored as
+Unicode code points, and encoded in EBCDIC as UTF-EBCDIC. The UTF-EBCDIC
+encoding is limited to code points no larger than 2147483647 (0x7FFFFFFF).
+
=item Insecure dependency in %s
(F) You tried to do something that the tainting mechanism didn't like.
Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding rules.
+One possible cause is that you read in data that you thought to be in
+UTF-8 but it wasn't (it was for example legacy 8-bit data). Another
+possibility is careless use of utf8::upgrade().
+
=item Malformed UTF-16 surrogate
Perl thought it was reading UTF-16 encoded character data but while
you omitted the name of the module. Consult L<perlrun> for full details
about C<-M> and C<-m>.
+=item More than one argument to open
+
+(F) The C<open> function has been asked to open multiple files. This
+can happen if you are trying to open a pipe to a command that takes a
+list of arguments, but have forgotten to specify a piped open mode.
+See L<perlfunc/open> for details.
+
=item msg%s not implemented
(F) You don't have System V message IPC on your system.
(F) You tried to do a read/write/send/recv operation with a buffer
length that is less than 0. This is difficult to imagine.
+=item Negative offset to vec in lvalue context
+
+(F) When C<vec> is called in an lvalue context, the second argument must be
+greater than or equal to zero.
+
=item Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
(F) You can't quantify a quantifier without intervening parentheses. So
of Perl. Check the #! line, or manually feed your script into Perl
yourself.
+=item %s not allowed in length fields
+
+(F) The count in the (un)pack template may be replaced by C<[TEMPLATE]> only if
+C<TEMPLATE> always matches the same amount of packed bytes. Redesign
+the template.
+
=item no UTC offset information; assuming local time is UTC
(S) A warning peculiar to VMS. Perl was unable to find the local
some day, even though it doesn't yet. Perhaps you should use a
mixed-case attribute name, instead. See L<attributes>.
-=item Package '%s' not found (did you use the incorrect case?)
-
-(W misc) You included a package file via C<use>, but the package name
-did not match the file name. It's possible that you misspelled the
-package name.

=item page overflow
(W io) A single call to write() produced more lines than can fit on a
(P) We popped the context stack to an eval context, and then discovered
it wasn't an eval context.
-=item panic: pp_match
+=item panic: pp_match%s
(P) The internal pp_match() routine was called with invalid operational
data.
=item perlio: argument list not closed for layer "%s"
-(S) When pushing a layer with arguments onto the Perl I/O system you forgot
-the ) that closes the argument list. (Layers take care of transforming
+(W layer) When pushing a layer with arguments onto the Perl I/O system you
+forgot the ) that closes the argument list. (Layers take care of transforming
data between external and internal representations.) Perl stopped parsing
the layer list at this point and did not attempt to push this layer.
If your program didn't explicitly request the failing operation, it may be
the result of the value of the environment variable PERLIO.
-=item perlio: invalid separator character %s in attribute list
+=item perlio: invalid separator character %s in layer specification list %s
-(S) When pushing layers onto the Perl I/O system, something other than a
+(W layer) When pushing layers onto the Perl I/O system, something other than a
colon or whitespace was seen between the elements of a layer list.
If the previous attribute had a parenthesised parameter list, perhaps that
list was terminated too soon.
=item perlio: unknown layer "%s"
-(S) An attempt was made to push an unknown layer onto the Perl I/O
+(W layer) An attempt was made to push an unknown layer onto the Perl I/O
system. (Layers take care of transforming data between external and
internal representations.) Note that some layers, such as C<mmap>,
are not supported in all environments. If your program didn't

+Note that the POSIX character classes do B<not> have the C<is> prefix
+the corresponding C interfaces have: in other words, it's C<[[:print:]]>,
+not C<isprint>. See L<perlre>.
=item POSIX getpgrp can't take an argument
(S prototype) The subroutine being declared or defined had previously been
declared or defined with a different function prototype.
+=item Prototype not terminated

=item Quantifier in {,} bigger than %d in regex;
marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
(F) A sort comparison subroutine may not return a list value with more
or less than one element. See L<perlfunc/sort>.
+=item splice() offset past end of array
+
+(W misc) You attempted to specify an offset that was past the end of
+the array passed to splice(). Splicing will instead commence at the end
+of the array, rather than past it. If this isn't what you want, try
+explicitly pre-extending the array by assigning $#array = $offset. See

=item Unknown process %x sent message to prime_env_iter: %s
(D deprecated) You are now encouraged to use the explicitly quoted form
if you wish to use an empty line as the terminator of the here-document.
+=item Use of /c modifier is meaningless in s///
+
+(W regexp) You used the /c modifier in a substitution. The /c
+modifier is not presently meaningful in substitutions.
+
+=item Use of /c modifier is meaningless without /g
+
+(W regexp) You used the /c modifier with a regex operand, but didn't
+use the /g modifier. Currently, /c is meaningful only when /g is
+used. (This may change in the future.)
+
+=item Use of /g modifier is meaningless in split
+
+(W regexp) You used the /g modifier on the pattern for a C<split>
+operator. Since C<split> always tries to match the pattern
+repeatedly, the C</g> has no effect.
+
=item Use of *glob{FILEHANDLE} is deprecated
(D deprecated) You are now encouraged to use the shorter *glob{IO} form
you should remove AutoLoader from @ISA and change C<use AutoLoader;> to
C<use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD';>.
+=item Use of -l on filehandle %s
+
+(W io) A filehandle represents an opened file, and when you opened the file
+it already went past any symlink you are presumably trying to look for.
+The operation returned C<undef>. Use a filename instead.
+
=item Use of "package" with no arguments is deprecated
(D deprecated) You used the C<package> keyword without specifying a package
suppressed for subroutine names by either adding a C<&> prefix, or using
a package qualifier, e.g. C<&our()>, or C<Foo::our()>.
+=item Use of tainted arguments in %s is deprecated
+
+(W taint) You have supplied C<system()> or C<exec()> with multiple
+arguments and at least one of them is tainted. This used to be allowed
+but will become a fatal error in a future version of perl. Untaint your
+arguments. See L<perlsec>.

(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
=item Wide character in %s
-(W utf8) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn't expecting one.
+(W utf8) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn't expecting
+one. This warning is by default on for I/O (like print) but can be
+turned off by C<no warnings 'utf8';>. You are supposed to explicitly
+mark the filehandle with an encoding, see L<open> and L<perlfunc/binmode>.
=item write() on closed filehandle %s
(F) The use of an external subroutine as a sort comparison is not yet
supported.
