Trying to declare globals with "vars" pragma\, when one make very common mistake of using comma in qw() qouting\, like this:
perl -le 'use vars qw($aaa\, $bbb)'
one will get very cryptic message:
package 'vars' not registered for warnings at -e line 1 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
Actually\, this should do nothing special (just remove comma from "$aaa\,").
Fixup is very simple (although I'm not sure this is The Right Way\, I just checked warnings man page and checked that this works):
