This is a bug report for perl from l.mai@web.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.18.1.

[Please describe your issue here]
% perl -e 'use Foo::Bar::Baz'
Can't locate Foo/Bar/Baz.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
This message sometimes confuses people who are new to Perl (or just want to run
an application written in Perl). Would it be possible to add "Do you need to
install Foo::Bar::Baz?" or some other text that mentions the module name
somewhere?
Something like:
- Can't locate Foo/Bar/Baz.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...) at -e line 1. Do you need to install Foo::Bar::Baz?
- Can't locate Foo/Bar/Baz.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...) (do you need to install Foo::Bar::Baz?) at -e line 1.
Would this break anything? Also, suggestions regarding the wording welcome.
[Please do not change anything below this line]
