PART 1: ----- > perl -e'print "\x{100}"' Wide character in print at -e line 1. Ā ----- ^^ Would it benefit if that warning instead were something like: ----- Wide character in print (you forgot to encode) at -e line 1. ----- The status quo merely describes the problem; I’d like to add a bit that points to the fix. -------------------------------------------- PART 2: While I’m raising the issue, what would it take for Perl-issued warnings (and exceptions?) writ-large to include some sort of searchable, indexed lookup code, something like: ----- W.18: Wide character in print (you forgot to encode) at -e line 1. ----- Then users could search on that code in Perl’s documentation, maybe like: ----- perldoc W.18 ----- Thoughts? -FGThread Next
