Programming the Perl DBI
by Alligator Descartes and Tim Bunce

The following errata were *corrected* in the 5/04 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

[36] code section "### Insert some data rows":

	$database{'Callanish I'} =

The inner quotes HAVE BEEN CHANGED to two separate opening single quote characters and 
then two separate closing single quote characters, rather than as double quotes, as previously published.


<82> 2nd-to-last paragraph, last sentence;
In the text:

    Because DBI dies if it can't load an initialize a driver, this method 
    should be called inside an eval{} block if you need to catch that error.

"eval {}" REMAINS in constant width font, but "block" NOW APPEARS in normal body font.

The Perl code line:
	$rows = $sth->dump_results( 80, '\n', ';', \*FILE );
