+(W) A lexical 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.
checksumming process loses information, and you can't go the other
way. See L<perlfunc/unpack>.
+=item /%s/: Unrecognized escape \\%c passed through
+
+(W) You used a backslash-character combination which is not recognized
+by Perl. This combination appears in an interpolated variable or a
+C<'>-delimited regular expression.
+
=item %s (...) interpreted as function
(W) You've run afoul of the rule that says that any list operator followed
instead of Perl. Check the #! line, or manually feed your script
into Perl yourself.
+=item (in cleanup) %s
+
+(W) This prefix usually indicates that a DESTROY() method raised
+the indicated exception. Since destructors are usually called by
+the system at arbitrary points during execution, and often a vast
+number of times, the warning is issued only once for any number
+of failures that would otherwise result in the same message being
+repeated.
+
+Failure of user callbacks dispatched using the C<G_KEEPERR> flag
+could also result in this warning. See L<perlcall/G_KEEPERR>.

=item (Missing semicolon on previous line?)
(S) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message "%s
(F) You called C<perl -x/foo/bar>, but C</foo/bar> is not a directory
that you can chdir to, possibly because it doesn't exist.
+=item Can't check filesystem of script "%s"
+
+(P) For some reason you can't check the filesystem of the script for nosuid.
+
=item Can't coerce %s to integer in %s
(F) Certain types of SVs, in particular real symbol table entries
localize a package variable of the same name, qualify it with the
package name.
+=item Can't localize pseudo-hash element
+
+(F) You said something like C<local $ar-E<gt>{'key'}>, where $ar is
+a reference to a pseudo-hash. That hasn't been implemented yet, but
+you can get a similar effect by localizing the corresponding array
+element directly -- C<local $ar-E<gt>[$ar-E<gt>[0]{'key'}]>.
+
=item Can't locate auto/%s.al in @INC
(F) A function (or method) was called in a package which allows autoload,
Either qualify the sort variable with the package name, or rename the
lexical variable.
+=item Bad evalled substitution pattern
+
+(F) You've used the /e switch to evaluate the replacement for a
+substitution, but perl found a syntax error in the code to evaluate,
+most likely an unexpected right brace '}'.
+
=item Can't use %s for loop variable
(F) Only a simple scalar variable may be used as a loop variable on a foreach.
(W) You tried to do a connect on a closed socket. Did you forget to check
the return value of your socket() call? See L<perlfunc/connect>.
+=item Constant is not %s reference
+
+(F) A constant value (perhaps declared using the C<use constant> pragma)
+is being dereferenced, but it amounts to the wrong type of reference. The
+message indicates the type of reference that was expected. This usually
+indicates a syntax error in dereferencing the constant value.
+See L<perlsub/"Constant Functions"> and L<constant>.

=item Constant subroutine %s redefined
(S) You redefined a subroutine which had previously been eligible for
(F) An untrapped exception was raised while executing an END subroutine.
The interpreter is immediately exited.
+=item entering effective %s failed
+
+(F) While under the C<use filetest> pragma, switching the real and
+effective uids or gids failed.
+
=item Error converting file specification %s
(F) An error peculiar to VMS. Because Perl may have to deal with file
(W) You are blessing a reference to a zero length string. This has
the effect of blessing the reference into the package main. This is
usually not what you want. Consider providing a default target
-package, e.g. bless($ref, $p or 'MyPackage');
+package, e.g. bless($ref, $p || 'MyPackage');
=item Fatal VMS error at %s, line %d
(S) A warning peculiar to VMS. The call to C<sys$getuai> underlying the
C<getpwnam> operator returned an invalid UIC.
-
=item Glob not terminated
(F) The lexer saw a left angle bracket in a place where it was expecting
(S) A warning peculiar to VMS. Perl keeps track of the number
of times you've called C<fork> and C<exec>, to determine
whether the current call to C<exec> should affect the current

+script or a subprocess (see L<perlvms/"exec LIST">). Somehow, this count
has become scrambled, so Perl is making a guess and treating
this C<exec> as a request to terminate the Perl script
and execute the specified command.
(P) Something went badly wrong in the regular expression parser.
-=item internal error: glob failed
+=item glob failed (%s)
-(P) Something went wrong with the external program(s) used for C<glob>
-and C<E<lt>*.cE<gt>>. This may mean that your csh (C shell) is
-broken. If so, you should change all of the csh-related variables in

+(W) Something went wrong with the external program(s) used for C<glob>
+and C<E<lt>*.cE<gt>>. Usually, this means that you supplied a C<glob>
+pattern that caused the external program to fail and exit with a nonzero
+status. If the message indicates that the abnormal exit resulted in a
+coredump, this may also mean that your csh (C shell) is broken. If so,
+you should change all of the csh-related variables in config.sh: If you

=item internal urp in regexp at /%s/
that name, not even if you count where you were called from. See
L<perlfunc/last>.
+=item leaving effective %s failed
+
+(F) While under the C<use filetest> pragma, switching the real and
+effective uids or gids failed.
+
=item listen() on closed fd
(W) You tried to do a listen on a closed socket. Did you forget to check
(F) While certain functions allow you to specify a filehandle or an
"indirect object" before the argument list, this ain't one of them.
+=item Missing command in piped open
+
+(W) You used the C<open(FH, "| command")> or C<open(FH, "command |")>
+construction, but the command was missing or blank.
+
=item Missing operator before %s?
(S) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message "%s
=item Modification of non-creatable hash value attempted, subscript "%s"
-(F) You tried to make a hash value spring into existence, and it couldn't
+(P) You tried to make a hash value spring into existence, and it couldn't
be created for some peculiar reason.
=item Module name must be constant
(W) You specified a signal name as a subscript to %SIG that was not recognized.
Say C<kill -l> in your shell to see the valid signal names on your system.
+=item no UTC offset information; assuming local time is UTC
+
+(S) A warning peculiar to VMS. Per was unable to find the local
+timezone offset, so it's assuming that local system time is equivalent
+to UTC. If it's not, define the logical name F<SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL>
+to translate to the number of seconds which need to be added to UTC to
+get local time.
+
=item Not a CODE reference
(F) Perl was trying to evaluate a reference to a code value (that is, a
(F) The setuid emulator in suidperl decided you were up to no good.
-=item pid %d not a child
+=item pid %x not a child
(W) A warning peculiar to VMS. Waitpid() was asked to wait for a process which
isn't a subprocess of the current process. While this is fine from VMS'
(P) A "can't happen" error, because safemalloc() should have caught it earlier.
-=item regexp too big
-
-(F) The current implementation of regular expressions uses shorts as
-address offsets within a string. Unfortunately this means that if
-the regular expression compiles to longer than 32767, it'll blow up.
-Usually when you want a regular expression this big, there is a better
-way to do it with multiple statements. See L<perlre>.
-
=item Reversed %s= operator
(W) You wrote your assignment operator backwards. The = must always
which does return. To suppress this warning, put the exec() in a block
by itself.
+=item Strange *+?{} on zero-length expression
+
+(W) You applied a regular expression quantifier in a place where it
+makes no sense, such as on a zero-width assertion.
+Try putting the quantifier inside the assertion instead. For example,
+the way to match "abc" provided that it is followed by three
+repetitions of "xyz" is C</abc(?=(?:xyz){3})/>, not C</abc(?=xyz){3}/>.
+
=item Stub found while resolving method `%s' overloading `%s' in package `%s'
(P) Overloading resolution over @ISA tree may be broken by importation stubs.
(F) Your Perl was compiled with B<-D>SETUID_SCRIPTS_ARE_SECURE_NOW, but a
version of the setuid emulator somehow got run anyway.
+=item switching effective %s is not implemented
+
+(F) While under the C<use filetest> pragma, we cannot switch the
+real and effective uids or gids.
+
=item syntax error
(F) Probably means you had a syntax error. Common reasons include:
instead of Perl. Check the #! line, or manually feed your script
into Perl yourself.
-=item System V IPC is not implemented on this machine
+=item System V %s is not implemented on this machine
-(F) You tried to do something with a function beginning with "sem", "shm",
-or "msg". See L<perlfunc/semctl>, for example.
+(F) You tried to do something with a function beginning with "sem",
+"shm", or "msg" but that System V IPC is not implemented in your
+machine. In some machines the functionality can exist but be
+unconfigured. Consult your system support.
=item Syswrite on closed filehandle
in your Perl script (or eval). Perhaps you tried to run a compressed
script, a binary program, or a directory as a Perl program.
+=item Unrecognized escape \\%c passed through
+
+(W) You used a backslash-character combination which is not recognized
+by Perl.
+
=item Unrecognized signal name "%s"
(F) You specified a signal name to the kill() function that was not recognized.
finding it. Chances are you left some needed parentheses out earlier in
the line, and you really meant a "less than".
-=item Use of "$$<digit>" to mean "${$}<digit>" is deprecated
-
-(D) Perl versions before 5.004 misinterpreted any type marker followed
-by "$" and a digit. For example, "$$0" was incorrectly taken to mean
-"${$}0" instead of "${$0}". This bug is (mostly) fixed in Perl 5.004.
-
-However, the developers of Perl 5.004 could not fix this bug completely,
-because at least two widely-used modules depend on the old meaning of
-"$$0" in a string. So Perl 5.004 still interprets "$$<digit>" in the
-old (broken) way inside strings; but it generates this message as a
-warning. And in Perl 5.005, this special treatment will cease.
-
=item Use of $# is deprecated
(D) This was an ill-advised attempt to emulate a poorly defined B<awk> feature.
