UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


[27]last paragraph of Subsection "Scalar Variables";
The first is on page 27, last paragraph of Subsection "Scalar
Variables": There I read
Scalar variables in Perl are always referenced with the
leading $&.

Should this be
Scalar variables in Perl are always referenced with the
leading $.


{30}the small example;
If $meat has never recieved a variable, then $barney in
$barney = "fred ate a $meat";
has the value "fred ate a " and not "fred ate a", so the trailing " "
of the strings should remain?


[142]section 9.5.1 (using Safari);

The code " s#(.*)#$1#g; " will delete all of the text, not just the "BOLD" text.
