+(F) You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be found
in any of the libraries mentioned in @INC. Perhaps you need to set the
PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say where the extra library
is, or maybe the script needs to add the library name to @INC. Or maybe
(W) You tried to close a filehandle that was never opened.
+=item Compilation failed in require
+
+(F) Perl could not compile a file specified in a C<require> statement.
+Perl uses this generic message when none of the errors that it encountered
+were severe enough to halt compilation immediately.

=item connect() on closed fd
(W) You tried to do a connect on a closed socket. Did you forget to check
(P) Something went badly wrong in the regular expression parser.
+=item internal error: glob failed
+
+(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
+config.sh: If you have tcsh, make the variables refer to it as if it
+were csh (e.g. C<full_csh='/usr/bin/tcsh'>); otherwise, make them all
+empty (except that C<d_csh> should be C<'undef'>) so that Perl will
+think csh is missing. In either case, after editing config.sh, run
+C<./Configure -S> and rebuild Perl.
+
=item internal urp in regexp at /%s/
(P) Something went badly awry in the regular expression parser.
(F) The range specified in a character class had a minimum character
greater than the maximum character. See L<perlre>.
+=item Invalid type in pack: '%s'
+
+(F) The given character is not a valid pack type. See L<perlop/pack>.

+(F) The given character is not a valid unpack type. See L<perlop/unpack>.

=item ioctl is not implemented
(F) Your machine apparently doesn't implement ioctl(), which is pretty
(F) The lexer couldn't find the final delimiter of a // or m{}
construct. Remember that bracketing delimiters count nesting level.

(W) The filehandle you're writing to got itself closed sometime before now.
Check your logic flow.

=item Too late for "B<-T>" option
(X) The #! line (or local equivalent) in a Perl script contains the
-B<-T> option, but Perl was not invoked with B<-T> in its argument

+B<-T> option, but Perl was not invoked with B<-T> in its command line.
+This is an error because, by the time Perl discovers a B<-T> in a
+script, it's too late to properly taint everything from the environment.
+So Perl gives up.
If the Perl script is being executed as a command using the #!
mechanism (or its local equivalent), this error can usually be fixed
If the Perl script is being executed as C<perl scriptname>, then the
B<-T> option must appear on the command line: C<perl -T scriptname>.
+=item Too late for "-%s" option
+
+(X) The #! line (or local equivalent) in a Perl script contains the
+B<-M> or B<-m> option. This is an error because B<-M> and B<-m> options
+are not intended for use inside scripts. Use the C<use> pragma instead.

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.
=item Use of $* is deprecated
-(D) This variable magically turned on multiline pattern matching, both for
+(D) This variable magically turned on multi-line pattern matching, both for
you and for any luckless subroutine that you happen to call. You should
use the new C<//m> and C<//s> modifiers now to do that without the dangerous
action-at-a-distance effects of C<$*>.
(F) You attempted to use a feature of printf that is accessible from
only C. This usually means there's a better way to do it in Perl.
-=item Use of %s is deprecated
-
-(D) The construct indicated is no longer recommended for use, generally
-because there's a better way to do it, and also because the old way has
-bad side effects.
-
=item Use of bare E<lt>E<lt> to mean E<lt>E<lt>"" is deprecated
(D) You are now encouraged to use the explicitly quoted form if you
subroutine's argument list, so it's better if you assign the results of
a split() explicitly to an array (or list).
+=item Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method %s() is deprecated
+
+(D) As an (ahem) accidental feature, C<AUTOLOAD> subroutines are looked
+up as methods (using the C<@ISA> hierarchy) even when the subroutines to
+be autoloaded were called as plain functions (e.g. C<Foo::bar()>), not
+as methods (e.g. C<Foo->bar()> or C<$obj->bar()>).
+
+This bug will be rectified in Perl 5.005, which will use method lookup
+only for methods' C<AUTOLOAD>s. However, there is a significant base
+of existing code that may be using the old behavior. So, as an
+interim step, Perl 5.004 issues an optional warning when non-methods
+use inherited C<AUTOLOAD>s.
+
+The simple rule is: Inheritance will not work when autoloading
+non-methods. The simple fix for old code is: In any module that used to
+depend on inheriting C<AUTOLOAD> for non-methods from a base class named
+C<BaseClass>, execute C<*AUTOLOAD = \&BaseClass::AUTOLOAD> during startup.
