+=item Argument "%s" treated as 0 in increment (++)
+
+(W numeric) The indicated string was fed as an argument to the C<++>
+operator which expects either a number or a string matching
+C</^[a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*\z/>. See L<perlop/Auto-increment and
+Auto-decrement> for details.

=item Array @%s missing the @ in argument %d of %s()
(D deprecated) Really old Perl let you omit the @ on array names in some
=item Illegal character after '_' in prototype for %s : %s
-(W illegalproto) 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. The '_' in a prototype must be followed by a ';',
+indicating the rest of the parameters are optional, or one of '@'
+or '%', since those two will accept 0 or more final parameters.
=item Illegal character \%o (carriage return)
See also L<attributes.pm|attributes>.
+=item Magical list constants are not supported
+
+(F) You assigned a magical array to a stash element, and then tried
+to use the subroutine from the same slot. You are asking Perl to do
+something it cannot do, details subject to change between Perl versions.
+
=item Malformed integer in [] in pack
(F) Between the brackets enclosing a numeric repeat count only digits
are always mentioned with the $ in Perl, unlike in the shells, where it
can vary from one line to the next.
+=item Missing ']' in prototype for %s : %s
+
+(W illegalproto) A grouping was started with C<[> but never closed with
+C<]>.
+
=item (Missing operator before %s?)
(S syntax) This is an educated guess made in conjunction with the message
(W once) Typographical errors often show up as unique variable names.
If you had a good reason for having a unique name, then just mention it

(P) When compiling a subroutine call in lvalue context, Perl failed an
internal consistency check. It encountered a malformed op tree.
