=item Warning: Use of "%s" without parens is ambiguous
because other Perl programmers will expect it, and it works better
if there are more than 9 backreferences.
-=item '|' and '<' may not both be specified on command line
+=item '|' and 'E<lt>' may not both be specified on command line
(F) An error peculiar to VMS. Perl does its own command line redirection, and
found that STDIN was a pipe, and that you also tried to redirect STDIN using
-'<'. Only one STDIN stream to a customer, please.

+(P) An error peculiar to OS/2. Most probably you use an obsolete version

+(F) An error peculiar to OS/2. PERLLIB_PREFIX should be of the form
+
+ prefix1;prefix2
+
+or
+
+ prefix1 prefix2
+
+with non-empty prefix1 and prefix2. If C<prefix1> is indeed a prefix of
+a builtin library search path, prefix2 is substituted. The error may appear
+if components are not found, or are too long. See L<perlos2/"PERLLIB_PREFIX">.

+=item PERL_SH_DIR too long

+(F) An error peculiar to OS/2. PERL_SH_DIR is the directory to find the
+C<sh>-shell in. See L<perlos2/"PERL_SH_DIR">.
+
+=item Process terminated by SIG%s
+
+(W) This is a standard message issued by OS/2 applications, while *nix
+applications die in silence. It is considered a feature of the OS/2
+port. One can easily disable this by appropriate sighandlers, see
+L<perlipc/"Signals">. See L<perlos2/"Process terminated by SIGTERM/SIGINT">.
