This is a bug report for perl from tony@develop-help.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.19.3.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]
Currently perl reports variable names for only a limited number of
warning and error messages.
It would be useful if they could be reported for more messages.
Some examples:
Can't call method "foo" on an undefined value
Use of reference "SCALAR(0x1e8dbf0)" as array index
Argument "a" isn't numeric in multiplication (*)
Briefly discussed in [perl #3330].
[Please do not change anything below this line]
