+=head1 NAME
+
+diagnostics - Perl compiler pragma to force verbose warning diagnostics
+
+splain - standalone program to do the same thing
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+As a pragma:
+
+ use diagnostics;
+ use diagnostics -verbose;
+
+ enable diagnostics;
+ disable diagnostics;
+
+Aa a program:
+
+ perl program 2>diag.out
+ splain [-v] [-p] diag.out
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+=head2 The C<diagnostics> Pragma
+
+This module extends the terse diagnostics normally emitted by both the
+perl compiler and the perl interpeter, augmenting them wtih the more
+explicative and endearing descriptions found in L<perldiag>. Like the
+other pragmata, it affects to compilation phase of your program rather
+than merely the execution phase.
+
+To use in your program as a pragma, merely invoke
+
+ use diagnostics;
+
+at the start (or near the start) of your program. (Note
+that this I<does> enable perl's B<-w> flag.) Your whole
+compilation will then be subject(ed :-) to the enhanced diagnostics.
+These still go out B<STDERR>.
+
+Due to the interaction between runtime and compiletime issues,
+and because it's probably not a very good idea anyway,
+you may not use C<no diagnostics> to turn them off at compiletime.
+However, you may control there behaviour at runtime using the
+disable() and enable() methods to turn them off and on respectively.
+
+The B<-verbose> flag first prints out the L<perldiag> introduction before
+any other diagnostics. The $diagnostics::PRETTY can generate nicer escape
+sequences for pgers.
+
+=head2 The I<splain> Program
+
+While apparently a whole nuther program, I<splain> is actually nothing
+more than a link to the (executable) F<diagnostics.pm> module, as well as
+a link to the F<diagnostics.pod> documentation. The B<-v> flag is like
+the C<use diagnostics -verbose> directive.
+The B<-p> flag is like the
+$diagnostics::PRETTY variable. Since you're post-processing with
+I<splain>, there's no sense in being able to enable() or disable() processing.
+
+Output from I<splain> is directed to B<STDOUT>, unlike the pragma.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+The following file is certain to trigger a few errors at both
+runtime and compiletime:
+
+ use diagnostics;
+ print NOWHERE "nothing\n";
+ print STDERR "\n\tThis message should be unadorned.\n";
+ warn "\tThis is a user warning";
+ print "\nDIAGNOSTIC TESTER: Please enter a <CR> here: ";
+ my $a, $b = scalar <STDIN>;
+ print "\n";
+ print $x/$y;
+
+If you prefer to run your program first and look at its problem
+afterwards, do this:
+
+ perl -w test.pl 2>test.out
+ ./splain < test.out
+
+Note that this is not in general possible in shells of more dubious heritage,
+as the theorectical
+
+ (perl -w test.pl >/dev/tty) >& test.out
+ ./splain < test.out
+
+Because you just moved the existing B<stdout> to somewhere else.
+
+If you don't want to modify your source code, but still have on-the-fly
+warnings, do this:
+
+ exec 3>&1; perl -w test.pl 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | splain 1>&2 3>&-
+
+Nifty, eh?
+
+If you want to control warnings on the fly, do something like this.
+Make sure you do the C<use> first, or you won't be able to get
+at the enable() or disable() methods.
+
+ use diagnostics; # checks entire compilation phase
+ print "\ntime for 1st bogus diags: SQUAWKINGS\n";
+ print BOGUS1 'nada';
+ print "done with 1st bogus\n";
+
+ disable diagnostics; # only turns off runtime warnings
+ print "\ntime for 2nd bogus: (squelched)\n";
+ print BOGUS2 'nada';
+ print "done with 2nd bogus\n";
+
+ enable diagnostics; # turns back on runtime warnings
+ print "\ntime for 3rd bogus: SQUAWKINGS\n";
+ print BOGUS3 'nada';
+ print "done with 3rd bogus\n";
+
+ disable diagnostics;
+ print "\ntime for 4th bogus: (squelched)\n";
+ print BOGUS4 'nada';
+ print "done with 4th bogus\n";
+
+=head1 INTERNALS
+
+Diagnostic messages derive from the F<perldiag.pod> file when available at
+runtime. Otherwise, they may be embedded in the file itself when the
+splain package is built. See the F<Makefile> for details.
+
+If an extant $SIG{__WARN__} handler is discovered, it will continue
+to be honored, but only after the diagnostic::splainthis() function
+(the module's $SIG{__WARN__} interceptor) has had its way with your
+warnings.
+
+There is a $diagnostics::DEBUG variable you may set if you're desperately
+curious what sorts of things are being intercepted.
+
+ BEGIN { $diagnostics::DEBUG = 1 }
+
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Not being able to say "no diagnostics" is annoying, but may not be
+insurmountable.
+
+The C<-pretty> directive is called too late to affect matters.
+You have to to this instead, and I<before> you load the module.
+
+ BEGIN { $diagnostics::PRETTY = 1 }
+
+I could start up faster by delaying compilation until it should be
+needed, but this gets a "panic: top_level"
+when using the pragma form in 5.001e.
+
+While it's true that this documentation is somewhat subserious, if you use
+a program named I<splain>, you should expect a bit of whimsy.
