perl -le '$_ = "a" x 1e2; print 1; print 2, poa $_'

OUTPUTS:
1
Can't locate object method "poa" via package 
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" 
(perhaps you forgot to load 
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"?) 
at -e line 1.

Originally I got >1e5 length message, because of mistyping 'pos'. Maybe 
ellipsis would fit here.

My 2 cents:  I believe it would be next to impossible to develop a rule 
which says one particular error message is too long while another one is 
the right length.  So I don't believe any change in this area is warranted.

Thank you very much.
