Fixing old bugs....
Original message​:
For both 5.005_02 and 5.005_03 the "use" section of the perl documentation
does not list the pseudo-pragma "use constant", but probably should.

(Other pseudo-pragmas such as "integer" and "diagnostic" are listed.)

Recommended fix to bleadperl, also a grammatical error that just happened
to show up as well.

 are also implemented this way.  Currently implemented pragmas are:
 
-    use integer;

     use diagnostics;

     use sigtrap  qw(SEGV BUS);

 operator is not as well defined for negative operands, but it will
 execute faster.
