[BUG:PATCH] Missing semicolon message wrong in perldiag
This error message is different between the source and perldiag.pod, so
that "use diagnostics;" doesn't pick it up.
I have moved the message to be in the correct collating order,
_ignoring_ the initial TAB. Is this the right thing to do?
Is the ordering merely for the convenience of humans, or are there
programs which exploit it? I note that "use diagnostics;" doesn't.
Warning: This patch inserts a TAB into perldiag - make sure it stays
as a TAB.
