(S malloc) An internal routine called realloc() on something that had

(F) You used C<\p{}> or C<\P{}> but the character property by that name

-alphanumeric characters), or maybe you forgot the C<Is> or C<In> prefix?

+for a complete list of available properties.
=item Can't find label %s
=item Can't find Unicode property definition "%s"
(F) You may have tried to use C<\p> which means a Unicode property (for
-example C<\p{Lu}> is all uppercase letters). If you did mean to use a
-Unicode property, see L<perlunicode> for the list of known properties.
+example C<\p{Lu}> matches all uppercase letters). If you did mean to use a

If you didn't mean to use a Unicode property, escape the C<\p>, either
by C<\\p> (just the C<\p>) or by C<\Q\p> (the rest of the string, until
possible C<\E>).
not finding it. Chances are you left some needed parentheses out
earlier in the line, and you really meant a "less than".
+=item gmtime(%.0f) too large
+
+(W overflow) You called C<gmtime> with an number that was beyond the 64-bit
+range that it accepts, and some rounding resulted. This warning is also
+triggered with nan (the special not-a-number value).
+
=item Got an error from DosAllocMem
(P) An error peculiar to OS/2. Most probably you're using an obsolete
=item Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
-(W syntax) An illegal character was found in a prototype declaration. Legal
-characters in prototypes are $, @, %, *, ;, [, ], &, and \.
+(W illegalproto) An illegal character was found in a prototype declaration.
+Legal characters in prototypes are $, @, %, *, ;, [, ], &, and \.

-(S deprecated, syntax) The special variable C<$*>, deprecated in older perls, has
+(D deprecated, syntax) The special variable C<$*>, deprecated in older perls, has
been removed as of 5.9.0 and is no longer supported. In previous versions of perl the use of
C<$*> enabled or disabled multi-line matching within a string.

length/code combination tried to obtain more data. This results in
an undefined value for the length. See L<perlfunc/pack>.
+=item Lexing code attempted to stuff non-Latin-1 character into Latin-1 input
+
+(F) An extension is attempting to insert text into the current parse
+(using L<lex_stuff_pvn_flags|perlapi/lex_stuff_pvn_flags> or similar), but
+tried to insert a character that couldn't be part of the current input.
+This is an inherent pitfall of the stuffing mechanism, and one of the
+reasons to avoid it. Where it is necessary to stuff, stuffing only
+plain ASCII is recommended.
+
+=item Lexing code internal error (%s)
+
+(F) Lexing code supplied by an extension violated the lexer's API in a
+detectable way.
+
=item listen() on closed socket %s
(W closed) You tried to do a listen on a closed socket. Did you forget
to check the return value of your socket() call? See
L<perlfunc/listen>.
+=item localtime(%.0f) too large
+
+(W overflow) You called C<localtime> with an number that was beyond the
+64-bit range that it accepts, and some rounding resulted. This warning is also triggered with nan (the special not-a-number value).
+
=item Lookbehind longer than %d not implemented in regex m/%s/
(F) There is currently a limit on the length of string which lookbehind can
by that? lstat() makes sense only on filenames. (Perl did a fstat()
instead on the filehandle.)
+=item lvalue attribute ignored after the subroutine has been defined
+
+(W) Making a subroutine an lvalue subroutine after it has been defined
+by declaring the subroutine with a lvalue attribute is not
+possible. To make the the subroutine a lvalue subroutine add the
+lvalue attribute to the definition, or put the the declaration before
+the definition.

=item Lvalue subs returning %s not implemented yet
(F) Due to limitations in the current implementation, array and hash

+(F) Perl thought it was reading UTF-16 encoded character data but while
doing it Perl met a malformed Unicode surrogate.
=item Malformed UTF-8 string in pack
(W syntax) An underscore (underbar) in a numeric constant did not
separate two digits.
+=item Missing argument in %s
+
+(W uninitialized) A printf-type format required more arguments than were
+supplied.
+
=item Missing argument to -%c
(F) The argument to the indicated command line switch must follow
the string being unpacked. The string being unpacked was also invalid
UTF-8. See L<perlfunc/pack>.
+=item Overloaded dereference did not return a reference
+
+(F) An object with an overloaded dereference operator was dereferenced,
+but the overloaded operation did not return a reference. See
+L<overload>.
+
+=item Overloaded qr did not return a REGEXP
+
+(F) An object with a C<qr> overload was used as part of a match, but the
+overloaded operation didn't return a compiled regexp. See L<overload>.

(W reserved) A lowercase attribute name was used that had a

to even) byte length.

conversion functions. This is only a problem when you're using the
'<' or '>' modifiers in (un)pack templates. See L<perlfunc/pack>.
+=item Perl_pmflag() is deprecated, and will be removed from the XS API
+
+(D deprecated) XS code called the C function C<Perl_pmflag>. This was part of
+Perl's listed public API for extending or embedding the perl interpreter. It has
+now been removed from the public API, and will be removed in a future release,
+hence XS code should be re-written not to use it.
+
=item Perl %s required--this is only version %s, stopped
(F) The module in question uses features of a version of Perl more
=item Prototype after '%c' for %s : %s
-(W syntax) A character follows % or @ in a prototype. This is useless,
+(W illegalproto) A character follows % or @ in a prototype. This is useless,
since % and @ gobble the rest of the subroutine arguments.
=item Prototype mismatch: %s vs %s
(W io) The dirhandle you tried to do a rewinddir() on is either closed or not
really a dirhandle. Check your control flow.
-=item Runaway format
-
-(F) Your format contained the ~~ repeat-until-blank sequence, but it
-produced 200 lines at once, and the 200th line looked exactly like the
-199th line. Apparently you didn't arrange for the arguments to exhaust
-themselves, either by using ^ instead of @ (for scalar variables), or by
-shifting or popping (for array variables). See L<perlform>.

=item Scalars leaked: %d
(P) Something went wrong in Perl's internal bookkeeping of scalars:
(F) The unexec() routine failed for some reason. See your local FSF
representative, who probably put it there in the first place.

-(W utf8) Certain Unicode characters have been designated off-limits by
-the Unicode standard and should not be generated. If you really know
-what you are doing you can turn off this warning by C<no warnings 'utf8';>.
+(W utf8) Certain codepoints, such as U+FFFE and U+FFFF, are defined by the
+Unicode standard to be non-characters. Those are legal codepoints, but are
+reserved for internal use; so, applications shouldn't attempt to exchange
+them. In some cases, this message is also given if you use a codepoint that
+isn't in Unicode--that is it is above the legal maximum of U+10FFFF. These
+aren't legal at all in Unicode, so they are illegal for interchange, but can be
+used internally in a Perl program. If you know what you are doing you can turn
+off this warning by C<no warnings 'utf8';>.

form if you wish to use an empty line as the terminator of the here-document.

-(D deprecated, W syntax) The values you give to a format should be
+(D deprecated) The values you give to a format should be
separated by commas, not just aligned on a line.

(D deprecated) As an (ahem) accidental feature, C<AUTOLOAD> subroutines
