Learning Perl, 4th Edition
by Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, brian d foy

The following errata were *corrected* in the 1/06 reprint:

Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem




(xv)  below 2nd paragraph;
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lperl4/

NOW READS:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101053/



(52)  1st paragraph;
"If the person running the program types three lines and presses the proper keys
needed to indicate end-of-file, the array will have with three elements."

NOW READS:
"If the person running the program types three lines and presses the proper keys
needed to indicate end-of-file, the array will have three elements."



(69), Paragraph 3;
Now, before we go any further, we must be clear about something: this  shortcut
workparticular, as a statement all on its own) it won't...

NOW READS:
    Now, before we go any further, we must be very clear about something:
this shortcut works only if you write it just as we did. If you put
a line-input operator anywhere else (in particular, as a statement all
on its own) it won't...



(216)  Exercises 2 and 3;
Exercise 2: Get a list of filenames in the current directory. Use the C<Cwd>
module... then use the C<File::Spec> module...

Exercise 3: Using the output... ... use the C<File::Basename> module.


The strange formatting characters "C<>" HAVE BEEN DELETED.



(216)  Exercise 2, third sentence;
"Print the list of paths to standard outout with one path per line."

'outout' NOW READS  'output'



(241) Exercise numbering, line 5;
"Here's one way to do it:" 

NOW READS:
"2. Here's one way to do it:"

and the rest of the exercise answers HAVE BEEN RENUMBERED so that 2 is really 3, 3 is really 4, and
4 is really 5.



{242} in the fifth exercise, in the last code fragment;
the print statement was previously missing. The code fragment NOW READS:

   @ARGV = sort keys $do_these;
   $^I = ".bak";          # make backups
   while (<>) {
     if (/^#!/) {         # is it the shebang line?
       $_ .= "## Copyright (c) 20XX by Yours Truly\n";
     }
     print;
   }



(252-253)  Answers to Chapter 15 exercises;
The solutions to these exercises previously contained references to modules and Perl code all within "C<" and ">"
formatting characters.

Those formatting characters HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
