error messages - do not repeat class names twice in our error messages
Showing the classname twice in the error message just increases cognitive load understanding the message when the class/package name is more than a few components long, and can easily make what should be a simple one line error message wrap and be unreadable. We can simply replace the second invocation of the class name by saying "it" instead, and that is what this patch does. It is still friendly, but not repetitive. Thus: $ perl -le'("x" x 50)->new()' Can't locate object method "new" via package "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (perhaps you forgot to load "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"?) at -e line 1. Turns into: $ ./perl -le'("x" x 50)->new()' Can't locate object method "new" via package "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (perhaps you forgot to load it?) at -e line 1.
