(F) You used something like C<(?(DEFINE)...|..)> which is illegal. The

(F) Group names must follow the rules for perl identifiers, meaning
they must start with a non-digit word character. A common cause of

(F) The Perl parser has no idea what to do with the specified character
in your Perl script (or eval) near the specified column. Perhaps you tried
to run a compressed script, a binary program, or a directory as a Perl program.
-=item Unrecognized escape \%c in character class in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+=item Unrecognized escape \%c in character class in regex; marked by
+S<<-- HERE> in m/%s/
(F) You used a backslash-character combination which is not
recognized by Perl inside character classes. This is a fatal
error when the character class is used within C<(?[ ])>.

understood literally, but this may change in a future version of Perl.

+=item Unterminated \g{...} pattern in regex; marked by S<<-- HERE> in m/%s/
(F) In a regular expression, you had a C<\g> that wasn't followed by a
proper group reference. In the case of C<\g{>, the closing brace is
not finding it. Chances are you left some needed parentheses out
earlier in the line, and you really meant a "less than".
-=item Unterminated verb pattern argument in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/

(F) You used a pattern of the form C<(*VERB:ARG)> but did not terminate
the pattern with a C<)>. Fix the pattern and retry.

(W regexp) You have used an internal modifier such as (?-o) that has no
meaning unless removed from the entire regexp:
but in fact the local() currently has no effect. This may change at
some point in the future, but in the meantime such code is discouraged.
-=item Useless (?%s) - use /%s modifier in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
+=item Useless (?%s) - use /%s modifier in regex; marked by S<<-- HERE> in

(W regexp) You have used an internal modifier such as (?o) that has no

String constants that would normally evaluate to 0 or 1 are warned
about.

character. Currently all but the first one are discarded when used in

(F) You used a verb pattern that requires an argument. Supply an
