use X; produces this message. Perl's documentation defines use as 
BEGIN { require Module; Module->import( LIST ); }

and says that require "Has semantics similar to the following subroutine": 
sub require {
 my ($filename) = @_;
 if ( exists $INC{$filename} ) {
  return 1 if $INC{$filename};
  die "Compilation failed in require";
 }
 my ( $realfilename, $result );
ITER: {
  foreach $prefix (@INC) {
   $realfilename = "$prefix/$filename";
   if ( -f $realfilename ) {
    $INC{$filename} = $realfilename;
    $result = do $realfilename;
    last ITER;
   }
  }
  die "Can't find $filename in \@INC";
 }
 if ($@) {
  $INC{$filename} = undef;
  die $@;
 }
 elsif ( !$result ) {
  delete $INC{$filename};
  die "$filename did not return true value";
 }
 else {
  return $result;
 }
}

Given this, what does "Can't locate loadable object for module X in @INC (@INC contains: ... )" mean? That is, which of the errors that require can return will return it?

BTW, a comprehensive repository of Perl core error messages would be great.

Thanks
