[ID 20000331.022] package 'vars' not registered for warnings
Message ID:
200003312103.XAA27164@kompas.usr.onet.pl

This is a bug report for perl from kompas@onet.pl,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Trying to declare globals with "vars" pragma, when one make very common
mistake of using comma in qw() qouting, like this:

perl -le 'use vars qw($aaa, $bbb)'

one will get very cryptic message:

package 'vars' not registered for warnings at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Actually, this should do nothing special (just remove comma from "$aaa,").

Fixup is very simple (although I'm not sure this is The Right Way, I just
checked warnings man page and checked that this works):
