It does appear, but the first word is variable:
%s found where operator expected
(S) The Perl lexer knows whether to expect a term or an
operator. If it sees what it knows to be a term when it was
expecting to see an operator, it gives you this warning.
Usually it indicates that an operator or delimiter was omitted,
such as a semicolon.
