localize a package variable of the same name, qualify it with the
package name.
+=item Can't localize pseudo-hash element
+
+(F) You said something like C<local $ar-E<gt>{'key'}>, where $ar is
+a reference to a pseudo-hash. That hasn't been implemented yet, but
+you can get a similar effect by localizing the corresponding array
+element directly -- C<local $ar-E<gt>[$ar-E<gt>[0]{'key'}]>.
+
=item Can't locate auto/%s.al in @INC
(F) A function (or method) was called in a package which allows autoload,
Perl uses this generic message when none of the errors that it encountered
were severe enough to halt compilation immediately.
+=item Complex regular subexpression recursion limit (%d) exceeded
+
+(W) The regular expression engine uses recursion in complex situations
+where back-tracking is required. Recursion depth is limited to 32766,
+or perhaps less in architectures where the stack cannot grow
+arbitrarily. ("Simple" and "medium" situations are handled without
+recursion and are not subject to a limit.) Try shortening the string
+under examination; looping in Perl code (e.g. with C<while>) rather
+than in the regular expression engine; or rewriting the regular
+expression so that it is simpler or backtracks less. (See L<perlbook>
+for information on I<Mastering Regular Expressions>.)
+
=item connect() on closed fd
(W) You tried to do a connect on a closed socket. Did you forget to check
Another way is to assign to a substr() that's off the end of the string.
-=item Modification of noncreatable array value attempted, subscript %d
+=item Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript %d
(F) You tried to make an array value spring into existence, and the
subscript was probably negative, even counting from end of the array
backwards.
-=item Modification of noncreatable hash value attempted, subscript "%s"
+=item Modification of non-creatable hash value attempted, subscript "%s"
-(F) You tried to make a hash value spring into existence, and it couldn't
+(P) You tried to make a hash value spring into existence, and it couldn't
be created for some peculiar reason.
=item Module name must be constant
instead of Perl. Check the #! line, or manually feed your script
into Perl yourself.
-=item System V IPC is not implemented on this machine
+=item System V %s is not implemented on this machine
-(F) You tried to do something with a function beginning with "sem", "shm",
-or "msg". See L<perlfunc/semctl>, for example.
+(F) You tried to do something with a function beginning with "sem",
+"shm", or "msg" but that System V IPC is not implemented in your
+machine. In some machines the functionality can exist but be
+unconfigured. Consult your system support.
=item Syswrite on closed filehandle
=item umask: argument is missing initial 0
-(W) A umask of 222 is incorrect. It should be 0222, because octal literals
-always start with 0 in Perl, as in C.
+(W) A umask of 222 is incorrect. It should be 0222, because octal
+literals always start with 0 in Perl, as in C.
+
+=item umask not implemented
+
+(F) Your machine doesn't implement the umask function and you tried
+to use it to restrict permissions for yourself (EXPR & 0700).
=item Unable to create sub named "%s"
interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this
warning assign an initial value to your variables.
+=item Useless use of "re" pragma
+
+(W) You did C<use re;> without any arguments. That isn't very useful.
+
=item Useless use of %s in void context
(W) You did something without a side effect in a context that does nothing
