-(S utf8) (F) Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8
-encoding rules.
+(S utf8) (F) Perl detected a string that didn't comply with UTF-8
+encoding rules, even though it had the UTF8 flag on.
+
+One possible cause is that you set the UTF8 flag yourself for data that
+you thought to be in UTF-8 but it wasn't (it was for example legacy
+8-bit data). To guard against this, you can use Encode::decode_utf8.
-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
-possibility is careless use of utf8::upgrade().
+If you use the C<:encoding(UTF-8)> PerlIO layer for input, invalid byte
+sequences are handled gracefully, but if you use C<:utf8>, the flag is
+set without validating the data, possibly resulting in this error
+message.
+
+See also L<Encode/"Handling Malformed Data">.
=item Malformed UTF-16 surrogate
(F) You tried to unpack something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding
rules and perl was unable to guess how to make more progress.
+=item Maximal count of pending signals (%s) exceeded
+
+(F) Perl aborted due to a too important number of signals pending. This
+usually indicates that your operating system tried to deliver signals
+too fast (with a very high priority), starving the perl process from
+resources it would need to reach a point where it can process signals
+safely. (See L<perlipc/"Deferred Signals (Safe Signals)">.)

=item Unterminated <> operator
(F) The lexer saw a left angle bracket in a place where it was expecting
that module. It usually means you put the wrong funny character on the
front of your variable.

-=item Variable length character upgraded in print
-
-(W utf8) Perl met a variable length character that is not marked with
-Unicode in the output, but the output layer (like the C<:utf8> layer) does
-not expect that. (A variable length character is defined by having
-different memory representations between the native encoding (ISO-8859-1
-or single-byte EBCDIC) and perl's Unicode encoding (UTF-8 or UTF-EBCDIC).)
-Perl assumes any strings that are not marked as Unicode to be encoded in
-the native encoding, and implicitly converts (upgrades) them into perl's
-Unicode encoding on print. If you had intended to treat them as Unicode
-strings, you might have failed to cope with them properly.
