The first number is the line of code; the second number means how many lines you have read from the handle THEFILE by the time the error occurs. This can be nice to know if some specific input record is the cause of the error.

Actually you will find this kind of message quite often. Compare this:

$ echo foo | perl -e '<>; warn'
Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1, <> line 1.
