your regexp to match something 0 times, just put {0}. See L<perlre>.

(W unopened) You tried to close a filehandle that was never opened.

(P) The malloc package that comes with Perl had an internal failure.

-(F) In a here document construct like C<E<lt>E<lt>FOO>, the label
+(F) In a here document construct like C<<<FOO>, the label
C<FOO> is too long for Perl to handle. You have to be seriously
twisted to write code that triggers this error.
(W io) You tried to write on a read-only filehandle. If you
intended it to be a read-write filehandle, you needed to open it with
-"+E<lt>" or "+E<gt>" or "+E<gt>E<gt>" instead of with "E<lt>" or nothing. If
-you intended only to write the file, use "E<gt>" or "E<gt>E<gt>". See

=item Final $ should be \$ or $name
=item glob failed (%s)
(W glob) Something went wrong with the external program(s) used for C<glob>
-and C<E<lt>*.cE<gt>>. Usually, this means that you supplied a C<glob>
+and C<< <*.c> >>. Usually, this means that you supplied a C<glob>
pattern that caused the external program to fail and exit with a nonzero
status. If the message indicates that the abnormal exit resulted in a
coredump, this may also mean that your csh (C shell) is broken. If so,
didn't define a DB::sub routine to be called at the beginning of each
ordinary subroutine call.

-=item Stat on unopened file E<lt>%sE<gt>
+=item Stat on unopened file <%s>
(W unopened) You tried to use the stat() function (or an equivalent file test)
on a filehandle that was either never opened or has since been closed.
(W unopened) You tried to use the tell() function on a filehandle that was either
never opened or has since been closed.
-=item Test on unopened file E<lt>%sE<gt>

(W unopened) You tried to invoke a file test operator on a filehandle that isn't
open. Check your logic. See also L<perlfunc/-X>.

least that's what Configure thought.

(F) The lexer saw a left angle bracket in a place where it was expecting
a term, so it's looking for the corresponding right angle bracket, and not
(F) You attempted to use a feature of printf that is accessible from
only C. This usually means there's a better way to do it in Perl.
-=item Use of bare E<lt>E<lt> to mean E<lt>E<lt>"" is deprecated

(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 inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method %s() is deprecated
-(D deprecated) As an (ahem) accidental feature, C<AUTOLOAD> subroutines are looked
-up as methods (using the C<@ISA> hierarchy) even when the subroutines to

This bug will be rectified in Perl 5.005, which will use method lookup
only for methods' C<AUTOLOAD>s. However, there is a significant base
because other Perl programmers will expect it, and it works better
if there are more than 9 backreferences.
