Not helpful? It's the exact same error message found elsewhere.

syntax error at -e line 1, near "for{"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
In fact, the error is emitted by Perl itself. I'll look into why it's
giving two errors.

There's a difference between existing and being defined. While the sub
exists, it's not defined.

Yes, but you said to use the one from S::F::L. Defining a sub doesn't
override keywords.

syntax error at -e line 1, near ");"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
