It's probably not important.

That's good, because SEEK_SET was defined in Posix.pm, and now it's
warning you that it's not defined.  There are two answers here:

1. That's in a very little-used feature, so for most things won't
   matter much if it's broken.

2. You can probably make it work if you add this line near the top of zigzag:

   sub SEEK_SET () { 0 }

It's just a constant.

Ditto here:

   sub NULL () { 0 }

No.
