+=item A thread exited while %d other threads were still running
+
+(W) When using threaded Perl, a thread (not necessarily the main
+thread) exited while there were still other threads running.
+Usually it's a good idea to first collect the return values of the
+created threads by joining them, and only then exit from then main
+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
must either both be scalars or both be lists. Otherwise Perl won't
know which context to supply to the right side.
-=item Attempt to access disallowed key '%s' in a fixed hash
+=item Attempt to access disallowed key '%s' in a restricted hash
(F) The failing code has attempted to get or set a key which is not in
-the current set of allowed keys of a fixed hash.
+the current set of allowed keys of a restricted hash.
-=item Attempt to clear a fixed hash
+=item Attempt to clear a restricted hash
-(F) It is currently not allowed to clear a fixed hash, even if the
+(F) It is currently not allowed to clear a restricted hash, even if the
new hash would contain the same keys as before. This may change in
the future.
-=item Attempt to delete readonly key '%s' from a fixed hash
+=item Attempt to delete readonly key '%s' from a restricted hash
(F) The failing code attempted to delete a key whose value has been
-declared readonly from a fixed hash.
+declared readonly from a restricted hash.
-=item Attempt to delete disallowed key '%s' from a fixed hash
+=item Attempt to delete disallowed key '%s' from a restricted hash
-(F) The failing code attempted to delete from a fixed hash a key which
-is not in its key set.
+(F) The failing code attempted to delete from a restricted hash a key
+which is not in its key set.
=item Attempt to bless into a reference
is because you don't have read permission for a file which you named on
the command line.
+=item Can't open a reference
+
+(W io) You tried to open a scalar reference for reading or writing,
+using the 3-arg open() syntax :
+
+ open FH, '>', $ref;
+
+but your version of perl is compiled without perlio, and this form of
+open is not supported.
+
=item Can't open bidirectional pipe
(W pipe) You tried to say C<open(CMD, "|cmd|")>, which is not supported.
(F) The second argument of 3-argument open() is not among the list
of valid modes: C<< < >>, C<< > >>, C<<< >> >>>, C<< +< >>,
-C<< +> >>, C<<< +>> >>>, C<-|>, C<|->.
+C<< +> >>, C<<< +>> >>>, C<-|>, C<|->, C<< <& >>, C<< >& >>.
