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
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


{39} Fig 3.1: 
symbol table entry should be "spud" not "spud::"



(117) Figure 7-1: 
"Moniter" should be "Monitor."



{144} first para. after code: 
This para. is redundant (although correct in intention) because STORE has not 
been implemented in the preceding example.



(169) page header: 
The page header just reads "f".



(217) last paragraph, last line: 
"1" should be typeset in Courier.



(240) Figure 14-7: 
"Maserati" spelled wrongly


(245) Figure 14-10: 
The bottom-left annotation should read "...it expands the label to..."



<278> Figure 17-2: 
"parser()" should be "parse()" (2 instances).


(278) Figure 17-2: 
"add_prop_list" should be "add_prop_list()".


{282} table: 
table mentions @IF @ELSE ... but code does not implement it.



[316] Example 19-3 has the wrong comment format.


[316] last statement in code: 
Change call to perl_close() to:

	perl_destruct(my_perl);
	perl_free(my_perl);
	return 0;


(321) Figure 20-1: 
Change "Symbol tabels" to "Symbol tables."


{321} first line after the header "Architecture": 
"shaded rectangles" should be "dark shaded rectangles."


[338] The entry for hv_iterinit is wrong. It says that hv_iterinit returns the
number of entries, but it only returns xhv_fill.


{339} Figure 20-5: 
xhv_keys should have "5" next to it, not "6".


{347} sub new() near bottom of page: 
not really a bug, but a matter of style (unnecessarily using global variables)

Insert 

	my ($rs_increment, $rs_abc);

after the line:

	my $abc = 10;



(371)  final paragraph;
The Tolkien poem is missing the second verse:

"The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the road has gone[...]"


INDEX: 

"variables/Varable suicide" should be "variables/Variable suicide"
       

"stores procedures" should be "stored procedures."
