(F) When C<vec> is called in an lvalue context, the second argument must be
greater than or equal to zero.
+=item Attempt to access to key '%_' in fixed 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.

=item Attempt to bless into a reference
(F) The CLASSNAME argument to the bless() operator is expected to be
=item Can't exec "%s": %s
-(W exec) An system(), exec(), or piped open call could not execute the
+(W exec) A system(), exec(), or piped open call could not execute the
named program for the indicated reason. Typical reasons include: the
permissions were wrong on the file, the file wasn't found in
C<$ENV{PATH}>, the executable in question was compiled for another
"elseif" for the class returned by the following block. This is
unlikely to be what you want.

+(W digit) You may have tried to use an 8 or 9 in an octal number.
Interpretation of the octal number stopped before the 8 or 9.

=item lstat() on filehandle %s
-(W io) You tried to do a lstat on a filehandle. What did you mean
+(W io) You tried to do an lstat on a filehandle. What did you mean
by that? lstat() makes sense only on filenames. (Perl did a fstat()
instead on the filehandle.)
(S) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message "%s
found where operator expected". Often the missing operator is a comma.
+=item Missing right brace on %s
+
+(F) Missing right brace in C<\p{...}> or C<\P{...}>.
+
=item Missing right curly or square bracket
(F) The lexer counted more opening curly or square brackets than closing
=item Number too long
(F) Perl limits the representation of decimal numbers in programs to

+about 250 characters. You've exceeded that length. Future
versions of Perl are likely to eliminate this arbitrary limitation. In
the meantime, try using scientific notation (e.g. "1e6" instead of
"1_000_000").

fine from VMS' perspective, it's probably not what you intended.

+(F) The lexer couldn't find the interior delimiter of an s/// or s{}{}
construct. Remember that bracketing delimiters count nesting level.
Missing the leading C<$> from variable C<$s> may cause this error.

(W) You did C<use re;> without any arguments. That isn't very useful.
+=item Useless use of sort in scalar context
+
+(W void) You used sort in scalar context, as in :
+
+ my $x = sort @y;
+
+This is not very useful, and perl currently optimizes this away.
+
=item Useless use of %s with no values
(W syntax) You used the push() or unshift() function with no arguments
(D deprecated) You are now encouraged to use the explicitly quoted form
if you wish to use an empty line as the terminator of the here-document.
+=item Use of *glob{FILEHANDLE} is deprecated
+
+(D deprecated) You are now encouraged to use the shorter *glob{IO} form
+to access the filehandle slot within a typeglob.
+
+=item Use of chdir('') or chdir(undef) as chdir() deprecated
+
+(D deprecated) chdir() with no arguments is documented to change to
+$ENV{HOME} or $ENV{LOGDIR}. chdir(undef) and chdir('') share this
+behavior, but that has been deprecated. In future versions they
+will simply fail.
+
+Be careful to check that what you pass to chdir() is defined and not
+blank, else you might find yourself in your home directory.
+
=item Use of implicit split to @_ is deprecated
(D deprecated) It makes a lot of work for the compiler when you clobber
=item Using a hash as a reference is deprecated
(D deprecated) You tried to use a hash as a reference, as in

=item Value of %s can be "0"; test with defined()
its equivalent C<BEGIN> block found an internal inconsistency with
the version number.
+=item v-string in use/require is non-portable
+
+(W) The use of v-strings is non-portable to older, pre-5.6, Perls.
+If you want your scripts to be backward portable, use the floating
+point version number: for example, instead of C<use 5.6.1> say
+C<use 5.006_001>. This of course won't help: the older Perls
+won't suddenly start understanding newer features, but at least
+they will show a sensible error message indicating the required
+minimum version.

(W) You passed warn() an empty string (the equivalent of C<warn "">) or
