Hmm. If you want real error messages, might I suggest the following:
:$ perl -MCoy -e 'warn "Something bad happened"'
:
: -----
: A raven flies west.
: Two ravens fly. A darting carp.
: A salmon leaping.
: -----
:
: Mumon's commentary...
:
: Something bad happened
:
: (Analects of -e: line 1.)
(yes, the messages are different every time)
This is yet another reason why Perl is my favorite programming
language.
