+=item "%s" variable %s masks earlier declaration in same %s
+
+(W) A "my" or "our" variable has been redeclared in the current scope or statement,
+effectively eliminating all access to the previous instance. This is almost
+always a typographical error. Note that the earlier variable will still exist
+until the end of the scope or until all closure referents to it are
+destroyed.
+
=item "my sub" not yet implemented
(F) Lexically scoped subroutines are not yet implemented. Don't try that
to try to declare one with a package qualifier on the front. Use local()
if you want to localize a package variable.

=item "no" not allowed in expression
(F) The "no" keyword is recognized and executed at compile time, and returns
no useful value. See L<perlmod>.
+=item "our" variable %s redeclared
+
+(W) You seem to have already declared the same global once before in the
+current lexical scope.

=item "use" not allowed in expression
(F) The "use" keyword is recognized and executed at compile time, and returns
(P) An error peculiar to VMS. The process is suffering from exhausted quotas
or other plumbing problems.
-=item Can't declare %s in my
+=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.
-(F) Only scalar, array, and hash variables may be declared as lexical variables.

inlining. See L<perlsub/"Constant Functions"> for commentary and
workarounds.

inlining. See L<perlsub/"Constant Functions"> for commentary and
workarounds.
(W) You probably referred to an imported subroutine &FOO as $FOO or some such.
+=item Did you mean "local" instead of "our"?
+
+(W) Remember that "our" does not localize the declared global variable.
+You have declared it again in the same lexical scope, which seems superfluous.
+
=item Did you mean $ or @ instead of %?
(W) You probably said %hash{$key} when you meant $hash{$key} or @hash{@keys}.

END subroutine. Processing of the remainder of the queue of such
routines has been prematurely ended.

+(W) The filehandle you're attempting to flock() got itself closed some
+time before now. Check your logic flow. flock() operates on filehandles.
+Are you attempting to call flock() on a dirhandle by the same name?

=item Format %s redefined
(W) You redefined a format. To suppress this warning, say
=item Global symbol "%s" requires explicit package name

too soon. See L<attributes>.

name of the file to which to write data destined for stdout.
+=item No package name allowed for variable %s in "our"
+
+(F) Fully qualified variable names are not allowed in "our" declarations,
+because that doesn't make much sense under existing semantics. Such
+syntax is reserved for future extensions.

(F) You called C<perl -x>, but no line was found in the file beginning

is odd, because hashes come in key/value pairs.
