file. Perl was unable to remove the original file to replace it with
the modified file. The file was left unmodified.
-=item Can't rename %s to %s: %s, skipping file
-
-(F) The rename done by the B<-i> switch failed for some reason,
-probably because you don't have write permission to the directory.
-
=item Can't rename in-place work file '%s' to '%s': %s
(F) When closed implicitly, the temporary file for in-place editing
couldn't be renamed to the original filename.
+=item Can't rename %s to %s: %s, skipping file
+
+(F) The rename done by the B<-i> switch failed for some reason,
+probably because you don't have write permission to the directory.
+
=item Can't reopen input pipe (name: %s) in binary mode
(P) An error peculiar to VMS. Perl thought stdin was a pipe, and tried
however, redefine it while it's running, and you can even undef the
redefined subroutine while the old routine is running. Go figure.
+=item Can't unweaken a nonreference
+
+(F) You attempted to unweaken something that was not a reference. Only
+references can be unweakened.
+
=item Can't upgrade %s (%d) to %d
(P) The internal sv_upgrade routine adds "members" to an SV, making it
value that prints out looking like SCALAR(0xdecaf). Use the $1 form
instead.
-=item Can't unweaken a nonreference
-
-(F) You attempted to unweaken something that was not a reference. Only
-references can be unweakened.

=item Can't weaken a nonreference
(F) You attempted to weaken something that was not a reference. Only
=item (Did you mean "local" instead of "our"?)
-(W misc) Remember that "our" does not localize the declared global
+(W shadow) Remember that "our" does not localize the declared global
variable. You have declared it again in the same lexical scope, which
seems superfluous.
reason, your version of Perl appears to have been built without
this support. Talk to your Perl administrator.
-=item Illegal operator following parameter in a subroutine signature
-
-(F) A parameter in a subroutine signature, was followed by something
-other than C<=> introducing a default, C<,> or C<)>.
-
- use feature 'signatures';
- sub foo ($=1) {} # legal
- sub foo ($a = 1) {} # legal
- sub foo ($a += 1) {} # illegal
- sub foo ($a == 1) {} # illegal
-
=item Illegal character following sigil in a subroutine signature
(F) A parameter in a subroutine signature contained an unexpected character
(W digit) You may have tried to use an 8 or 9 in an octal number.
Interpretation of the octal number stopped before the 8 or 9.

=item Illegal pattern in regex; marked by S<<-- HERE> in m/%s/
(F) You wrote something like
for I/O (in anticipation of future reads and to imitate the behavior
with real files).
+=item Old package separator used in string
+
+(W syntax) You used the old package separator, "'", in a variable
+named inside a double-quoted string; e.g., C<"In $name's house">. This
+is equivalent to C<"In $name::s house">. If you meant the former, put
+a backslash before the apostrophe (C<"In $name\'s house">).
+
=item %s() on unopened %s
(W unopened) An I/O operation was attempted on a filehandle that was
=item "our" variable %s redeclared
-(W misc) You seem to have already declared the same global once before
+(W shadow) You seem to have already declared the same global once before
in the current lexical scope.
=item Out of memory!
=item "%s" subroutine &%s masks earlier declaration in same %s
-(W misc) A "my" or "state" subroutine has been redeclared in the
+(W shadow) A "my" or "state" subroutine 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 subroutine will still exist until the end of
a perl4 interpreter, especially if the next 2 tokens are "use strict"
or "my $var" or "our $var".
-=item Syntax error in (?[...]) in regex m/%s/
+=item Syntax error in (?[...]) in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
(F) Perl could not figure out what you meant inside this construct; this
notifies you that it is giving up trying.
(F) The unexec() routine failed for some reason. See your local FSF
representative, who probably put it there in the first place.
+=item Unexpected ']' with no following ')' in (?[... in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+
+(F) While parsing an extended character class a ']' character was encountered
+at a point in the definition where the only legal use of ']' is to close the
+character class definition as part of a '])', you may have forgotten the close
+paren, or otherwise confused the parser.
+
+=item Expecting close paren for nested extended charclass in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+
+(F) While parsing a nested extended character class like:
+
+ (?[ ... (?flags:(?[ ... ])) ... ])
+ ^
+
+we expected to see a close paren ')' (marked by ^) but did not.
+
+=item Expecting close paren for wrapper for nested extended charclass in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+
+(F) While parsing a nested extended character class like:
+

+ ^
+
+we expected to see a close paren ')' (marked by ^) but did not.
+
=item Unexpected binary operator '%c' with no preceding operand in regex;
marked by S<<-- HERE> in m/%s/
(F) The "use" keyword is recognized and executed at compile time, and
returns no useful value. See L<perlmod>.
