(F) An argument to pack("w",...) was negative. The BER compressed integer
format can only be used with positive integers. See L<perlfunc/pack>.
+=item Cannot convert a reference to %s to typeglob
+
+(F) You manipulated Perl's symbol table directly, stored a reference in it,
+then tried to access that symbol via conventional Perl syntax. The access
+triggers Perl to autovivify that typeglob, but it there is no legal conversion
+from that type of reference to a typeglob.
+
=item Can only compress unsigned integers in pack
(F) An argument to pack("w",...) was not an integer. The BER compressed
(F) Only hard references may be blessed. This is how Perl "enforces"
encapsulation of objects. See L<perlobj>.
+=item Can't "break" in a loop topicalizer
+
+(F) You called C<break>, but you're in a C<foreach> block rather than
+a C<given> block. You probably meant to use C<next> or C<last>.
+
+=item Can't "break" outside a given block
+
+(F) You called C<break>, but you're not inside a C<given> block.
+
=item Can't call method "%s" in empty package "%s"
(F) You called a method correctly, and it correctly indicated a package
(F) Certain types of SVs, in particular real symbol table entries
(typeglobs), can't be forced to stop being what they are.
+=item Can't "continue" outside a when block
+
+(F) You called C<continue>, but you're not inside a C<when>
+or C<default> block.
+
=item Can't create pipe mailbox
(P) An error peculiar to VMS. The process is suffering from exhausted
found in the PATH, or at least not with the correct permissions. The
script exists in the current directory, but PATH prohibits running it.
-=item Can't find %s property definition %s
-
-(F) You may have tried to use C<\p> which means a Unicode property (for
-example C<\p{Lu}> is all uppercase letters). If you did mean to use a
-Unicode property, see L<perlunicode> for the list of known properties.
-If you didn't mean to use a Unicode property, escape the C<\p>, either
-by C<\\p> (just the C<\p>) or by C<\Q\p> (the rest of the string, until
-possible C<\E>).
-
=item Can't find string terminator %s anywhere before EOF
(F) Perl strings can stretch over multiple lines. This message means
unseen whitespace before or after your closing tag. A good programmer's
editor will have a way to help you find these characters.
+=item Can't find Unicode property definition "%s"
+
+(F) You may have tried to use C<\p> which means a Unicode property (for
+example C<\p{Lu}> is all uppercase letters). If you did mean to use a
+Unicode property, see L<perlunicode> for the list of known properties.
+If you didn't mean to use a Unicode property, escape the C<\p>, either
+by C<\\p> (just the C<\p>) or by C<\Q\p> (the rest of the string, until
+possible C<\E>).
+
=item Can't fork
(F) A fatal error occurred while trying to fork while opening a
you tried to jump out of a sort() block or subroutine, which is a no-no.
See L<perlfunc/goto>.
+=item Can't goto subroutine from a sort sub (or similar callback)
+
+(F) The "goto subroutine" call can't be used to jump out of the
+comparison sub for a sort(), or from a similar callback (such
+as the reduce() function in List::Util).
+
=item Can't goto subroutine from an eval-%s
(F) The "goto subroutine" call can't be used to jump out of an eval
or define F<PERL_ENV_TABLES> (see L<perlvms>) so that environ is not
searched.
-=item Can't redefine active sort subroutine %s
-
-(F) Perl optimizes the internal handling of sort subroutines and keeps
-pointers into them. You tried to redefine one such sort subroutine when
-it was currently active, which is not allowed. If you really want to do
-this, you should write C<sort { &func } @x> instead of C<sort func @x>.
-
=item Can't "redo" outside a loop block
(F) A "redo" statement was executed to restart the current block, but
(F) The compiler tried to interpret a bracketed expression as a
subscript. But to the left of the brackets was an expression that
-didn't look like an array reference, or anything else subscriptable.
+didn't look like a hash or array reference, or anything else subscriptable.
=item Can't use \%c to mean $%c in expression
value that prints out looking like SCALAR(0xdecaf). Use the $1 form
instead.
+=item Can't use "when" outside a topicalizer
+
+(F) You have used a when() block that is neither inside a C<foreach>
+loop nor a C<given> block. (Note that this error is issued on exit
+from the C<when> block, so you won't get the error if the match fails,
+or if you use an explicit C<continue>.)
+
=item Can't weaken a nonreference
(F) You attempted to weaken something that was not a reference. Only
internally--subject to loss of precision errors in subsequent
operations.
+=item Integer overflow in format string for %s
+
+(F) The indexes and widths specified in the format string of printf()
+or sprintf() are too large. The numbers must not overflow the size of
+integers for your architecture.
+
=item Integer overflow in version
(F) Some portion of a version initialization is too large for the
=item Malformed UTF-8 character (%s)
-(W utf8) Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding rules.
+(S utf8) (F) Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8
+encoding rules.
One possible cause is that you read in data that you thought to be in
UTF-8 but it wasn't (it was for example legacy 8-bit data). Another
F<SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL> to translate to the number of seconds which
need to be added to UTC to get local time.
+=item Non-string passed as bitmask
+
+(W misc) A number has been passed as a bitmask argument to select().
+Use the vec() function to construct the file descriptor bitmasks for
+select. See L<perlfunc/select>
+
=item Null filename used
(F) You can't require the null filename, especially because on many
(P) An internal error.
+=item panic: attempt to call %s in %s
+
+(P) One of the file test operators entered a code branch that calls
+an ACL related-function, but that function is not available on this
+platform. Earlier checks mean that it should not be possible to
+enter this branch on this platform.
+
=item panic: ck_grep
(P) Failed an internal consistency check trying to compile a grep.
(P) Something requested a negative number of bytes of malloc.
-=item panic: mapstart
-
-(P) The compiler is screwed up with respect to the map() function.
-
=item panic: memory wrap
(P) Something tried to allocate more memory than possible.
(P) The compiler attempted to do a goto, or something weird like that.
+=item panic: unimplemented op %s (#%d) called
+
+(P) The compiler is screwed up and attempted to use an op that isn't permitted
+at run time.
+
=item panic: utf16_to_utf8: odd bytelen
(P) Something tried to call utf16_to_utf8 with an odd (as opposed
This warning will not be issued for numerical constants equal to 0 or 1
since they are often used in statements like
- 1 while sub_with_side_effects() ;
+ 1 while sub_with_side_effects();
String constants that would normally evaluate to 0 or 1 are warned
about.
