(F) The "use" keyword is recognized and executed at compile time, and returns
no useful value. See L<perlmod>.
+=item '!' allowed only after types %s
+
+(F) The '!' is allowed in pack() and unpack() only after certain types.
+See L<perlfunc/pack>.
+
=item % may only be used in unpack
(F) You can't pack a string by supplying a checksum, because the
checksumming process loses information, and you can't go the other
way. See L<perlfunc/unpack>.
+=item /%s/: Unrecognized escape \\%c passed through
+
+(W) You used a backslash-character combination which is not recognized
+by Perl. This combination appears in an interpolated variable or a
+C<'>-delimited regular expression.
+
=item %s (...) interpreted as function
(W) You've run afoul of the rule that says that any list operator followed
instead of Perl. Check the #! line, or manually feed your script
into Perl yourself.
+=item (in cleanup) %s
+
+(W) This prefix usually indicates that a DESTROY() method raised
+the indicated exception. Since destructors are usually called by
+the system at arbitrary points during execution, and often a vast
+number of times, the warning is issued only once for any number
+of failures that would otherwise result in the same message being
+repeated.
+
+Failure of user callbacks dispatched using the C<G_KEEPERR> flag
+could also result in this warning. See L<perlcall/G_KEEPERR>.
+
=item (Missing semicolon on previous line?)
(S) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message "%s
(F) You called C<perl -x/foo/bar>, but C</foo/bar> is not a directory
that you can chdir to, possibly because it doesn't exist.
+=item Can't check filesystem of script "%s"
+
+(P) For some reason you can't check the filesystem of the script for nosuid.
+
=item Can't coerce %s to integer in %s
(F) Certain types of SVs, in particular real symbol table entries
Either qualify the sort variable with the package name, or rename the
lexical variable.
+=item Bad evalled substitution pattern
+
+(F) You've used the /e switch to evaluate the replacement for a
+substitution, but perl found a syntax error in the code to evaluate,
+most likely an unexpected right brace '}'.
+
=item Can't use %s for loop variable
(F) Only a simple scalar variable may be used as a loop variable on a foreach.
(S) A warning peculiar to VMS. Perl keeps track of the number
of times you've called C<fork> and C<exec>, to determine
whether the current call to C<exec> should affect the current
-script or a subprocess (see L<perlvms/exec>). Somehow, this count
+script or a subprocess (see L<perlvms/"exec LIST">). Somehow, this count
has become scrambled, so Perl is making a guess and treating
this C<exec> as a request to terminate the Perl script
and execute the specified command.
(F) While certain functions allow you to specify a filehandle or an
"indirect object" before the argument list, this ain't one of them.
+=item Missing command in piped open
+
+(W) You used the C<open(FH, "| command")> or C<open(FH, "command |")>
+construction, but the command was missing or blank.
+
=item Missing operator before %s?
(S) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message "%s
(P) A "can't happen" error, because safemalloc() should have caught it earlier.
-=item regexp too big
-
-(F) The current implementation of regular expressions uses shorts as
-address offsets within a string. Unfortunately this means that if
-the regular expression compiles to longer than 32767, it'll blow up.
-Usually when you want a regular expression this big, there is a better
-way to do it with multiple statements. See L<perlre>.
-
=item Reversed %s= operator
(W) You wrote your assignment operator backwards. The = must always
server can't find it, basically, more or less. Please see the following

+You should also look at L<perlfaq9>.
+
=item setegid() not implemented
(F) You tried to assign to C<$)>, and your operating system doesn't support
in your Perl script (or eval). Perhaps you tried to run a compressed
script, a binary program, or a directory as a Perl program.
+=item Unrecognized escape \\%c passed through
+
+(W) You used a backslash-character combination which is not recognized
+by Perl.
+
=item Unrecognized signal name "%s"
(F) You specified a signal name to the kill() function that was not recognized.
