(F) A string of a form C<CORE::word> was given to prototype(), but there
is no builtin with the name C<word>.
+=item Can't find %s character property "%s"
+
+(F) You used C<\p{}> or C<\P{}> but the character property by that name
+could not be find. Maybe you mispelled the name of the property
+(remember that the names of character properties consist only of
+alphanumeric characters), or maybe you forgot the C<Is> or C<In> prefix?
+
=item Can't find label %s
(F) You said to goto a label that isn't mentioned anywhere that it's
redirection, and couldn't open the pipe into which to send data destined
for stdout.
-=item Can't open perl script "%s": %s
+=item Can't open perl script%s: %s
(F) The script you specified can't be opened for the indicated reason.
(F) A value used as either a hard reference or a symbolic reference must
be a defined value. This helps to delurk some insidious errors.
+=item Can't use anonymous symbol table for method lookup
+
+(P) The internal routine that does method lookup was handed a symbol
+table that doesn't have a name. Symbol tables can become anonymous
+for example by undefining stashes: C<undef %Some::Package::>.
+
=item Can't use bareword ("%s") as %s ref while "strict refs" in use
(F) Only hard references are allowed by "strict refs". Symbolic
references are disallowed. See L<perlref>.
-=item Can't use %%! because Errno.pm is not available
+=item Can't use %! because Errno.pm is not available
(F) The first time the %! hash is used, perl automatically loads the
Errno.pm module. The Errno module is expected to tie the %! hash to
=item invalid [] range "%s" in regexp
(F) The range specified in a character class had a minimum character
-greater than the maximum character. See L<perlre>.
+greater than the maximum character. One possibility is that you
+forgot the C<{}> from your ending C<\x{}> - C<\x> without the curly
+braces can go only up to C<ff>. See L<perlre>.
=item invalid [] range "%s" in transliteration operator
=item Misplaced _ in number
-(W syntax) An underline in a decimal constant wasn't on a 3-digit boundary.
+(W syntax) An underscore (underbar) in a numeric constant either
+immediately followed an earlier underscore; or an underscore ended a
+numeric constant, or, in the case of decimal constants, an underscore
+began or ended its fractional part. (If you try to begin a numerical
+constant with an underscore, it won't even be recognized as a number.)
=item Missing %sbrace%s on \N{}
throws away the left argument, which is not what you want. See
L<perlref> for more on this.
+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() ;
+
+String constants that would normally evaluate to 0 or 1 are warned
+about.
+
=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 with no values
+
+(W syntax) You used the push() or unshift() function with no arguments
+apart from the array, like C<push(@x)> or C<unshift(@foo)>. That won't
+usually have any effect on the array, so is completely useless. It's
+possible in principle that push(@tied_array) could have some effect
+if the array is tied to a class which implements a PUSH method. If so,
+you can write it as C<push(@tied_array,())> to avoid this warning.
+
=item "use" not allowed in expression
(F) The "use" keyword is recognized and executed at compile time, and
=item Wide character in %s
-(F) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn't expecting one.
+(W utf8) Perl met a wide character (>255) when it wasn't expecting one.
=item write() on closed filehandle %s
