-=item A thread exited while %d threads were running
-
-(W) When using threaded Perl, a thread (not necessarily the main
-thread) exited while there were still other threads running.

-thread. See L<threads>.

=item accept() on closed socket %s
(W closed) You tried to do an accept on a closed socket. Did you forget
name, and not a subroutine call. C<exists &sub()> will generate this

-disallowed. See L<Safe>.
-
=item Argument "%s" isn't numeric%s

-
-(F) The script would have to be opened by the C preprocessor by name,

the warning. See L<perlsub>.

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

+If you didn't mean to use a Unicode property, escape the C<\p>, either

+
=item Can't find string terminator %s anywhere before EOF

unseen whitespace before or after your closing tag. A good programmer's
editor will have a way to help you find these characters.

calling sv_upgrade.

-(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::>.

-(F) Perl can't peek at the stdio buffer of filehandles when it doesn't

(W recursion) This subroutine has called itself (directly or indirectly)
filehandles. Are you attempting to call flock() on a dirhandle by the
same name?

-(F) You started a regular expression with a quantifier. Backslash it if you
-meant it literally. The <-- HERE shows in the regular expression about
-where the problem was discovered. See L<perlre>.
-
=item Format not terminated
(F) A format must be terminated by a line with a solitary dot. Perl got
by that? lstat() makes sense only on filenames. (Perl did a fstat()
instead on the filehandle.)
-=item Lvalue subs returning %s not implemented yet
-
-(F) Due to limitations in the current implementation, array and hash
-values cannot be returned in subroutines used in lvalue context. See
-L<perlsub/"Lvalue subroutines">.

the buffer and zero pad the new area.

-(W io) A filehandle represents an opened file, and when you opened the file
-it already went past any symlink you are presumably trying to look for.
-The operation returned C<undef>. Use a filename instead.
-
-=item Use of "package" with no arguments is deprecated
-
-(D deprecated) You used the C<package> keyword without specifying a package
-name. So no namespace is current at all. Using this can cause many
-otherwise reasonable constructs to fail in baffling ways. C<use strict;>
-instead.

=item Use of %s in printf format not supported
(F) You attempted to use a feature of printf that is accessible from
reference-counting of iterated items, hence deleting such an item in the
middle of an iteration causes Perl to see a freed value.

=item Use of reference "%s" as array index
(W misc) You tried to use a reference as an array index; this probably
that module. It usually means you put the wrong funny character on the
front of your variable.
+=item Variable length lookbehind not implemented in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+
+(F) Lookbehind is allowed only for subexpressions whose length is fixed and
+known at compile time. The <-- HERE shows in the regular expression about
+where the problem was discovered. See L<perlre>.

=item "%s" variable %s masks earlier declaration in same %s
(W misc) A "my" or "our" variable has been redeclared in the current
reference variables in outer subroutines are called or referenced, they
are automatically rebound to the current values of such variables.
