My google searches described this one as an "obscure error". I would of course appreciate any clues what this might mean:
hesco@localhost:~$ perl -wc scrape.pl
Too many arguments for regexp internal reset at scrapevote.pl line 21,
+ near "qw{<tr><td>(.*)</td><td>(.*)</td><td align='right'>(\d)</td><t
+d>(.*)</td><td>(.*)</td></tr>}) "
scrapevote.pl had compilation errors.
But my real question is this:
Is there any definitive repository where one can look up error messages thrown by perl that will offer me some idea of what to do about them?
I imagine I will have coded around this error long before I figure out what it means. (TIMTOWTDI, after all.). But knowing a single definitive reference for perl errors would be a great boon to my work. Surely such an animal exists, no?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
