=item Can't declare class for non-scalar %s in "%s"
-(S) Currently, only scalar variables can declared with a specific class
-qualifier in a "my" or "our" declaration. The semantics may be extended
-for other types of variables in future.

+class qualifier in a "my" or "our" declaration. The semantics may be

subroutine or package before the current location. You can use an empty
"sub foo;" or "package FOO;" to enter a "forward" declaration.
+=item dump() better written as CORE::dump()
+
+(W misc) You used the obsolescent C<dump()> built-in function, without fully
+qualifying it as C<CORE::dump()>. Maybe it's a typo. See L<perlfunc/dump>.

version of Perl appears to have been built without this support. Talk
to your Perl administrator.
+=item Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
+
+(W syntax) An illegal character was found in a prototype declaration. Legal
+characters in prototypes are $, @, %, *, ;, [, ], &, and \.

=item Illegal division by zero
(F) You tried to divide a number by 0. Either something was wrong in

appear if components are not found, or are too long. See
"PERLLIB_PREFIX" in L<perlos2>.
+=item Malformed prototype for %s: %s
+
+(F) You tried to use a function with a malformed prototype. The
+syntax of function prototypes is given a brief compile-time check for
+obvious errors like invalid characters. A more rigorous check is run
+when the function is called.
+
=item Malformed UTF-8 character (%s)
Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding rules.
(F) The indicated command line switch needs a mandatory argument, but
you haven't specified one.
+=item No such class %s
+
+(F) You provided a class qualifier in a "my" or "our" declaration, but
+this class doesn't exist at this point in your program.
+
=item No such pipe open
(P) An error peculiar to VMS. The internal routine my_pclose() tried to
(W) The call to overload::constant contained an odd number of arguments.
The arguments should come in pairs.
+=item Odd number of elements in anonymous hash
+
+(W misc) You specified an odd number of elements to initialize a hash,
+which is odd, because hashes come in key/value pairs.
+
=item Odd number of elements in hash assignment
(W misc) You specified an odd number of elements to initialize a hash,
marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
-(W unsafe) The character class constructs [: :], [= =], and [. .] go
+(W regexp) The character class constructs [: :], [= =], and [. .] go
I<inside> character classes, the [] are part of the construct, for example:
/[012[:alpha:]345]/. Note that [= =] and [. .] are not currently
implemented; they are simply placeholders for future extensions and will

declared or defined with a different function prototype.

(A) You've accidentally run your script through B<csh> instead of Perl.
Check the #! line, or manually feed your script into Perl yourself.

(F) The regular expression ends with an unbackslashed backslash.

=item UTF-16 surrogate %s
-(F) You tried to generate half of an UTF-16 surrogate by requesting
-a Unicode character between the code points 0xD800 and 0xDFFF (inclusive).
-That range is reserved exclusively for the use of UTF-16 encoding
-(by having two 16-bit UCS-2 characters); but Perl encodes its characters
-in UTF-8, so what you got is a very illegal character.
