Commenting on now-resolved ticket https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=116543 today, Peter Martini wrote: "I imagine for maintainability - the same warning is displayed in half a dozen places, so rather than copy and paste the message it was declared once and referenced everywhere. "I kind of like it in the sense that it could make it easier to localize the error message in the future. Another project for another year, I think; moving all of the literal warnings and format strings into a single localizable table of strings." Why wait another year? If someone could draw up, in effect, a requirements document, then this could be the sort of project for which we could (a) schedule work at distributed hackathons (http://preview.tinyurl.com/aurfpr5); or (b) use as an "introduction to work on the Perl 5 core distribution" assignment. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
