Here are the changes made in the 9/99 reprint:


{31} The last code example used to read:

	return quoteword(",", 0, $_[0]);

It now reads

	return quotewords(",", 0, $_[0]);


(152) The description of the code sample about #includes
      was wrong. Tracing the second part of the example, it
      looked like @include_free would contain a list of files
      that contain include statements, but are not themselves
      included in any files.  So:

	This shows which files don't include any others:

Now reads:

	This shows which files with include statements are not
	included in other files.


(281) Paragraph 3 used to read:

	Bear this in mind when you choosing a pattern to match.

It now reads:

	Bear this in mind when you choose a pattern to match.

        @reordered = shuffle(@lines);

now reads

        fisher_yates_shuffle(\@lines);

      used to read:

	The sections on "Closures" and on "Package Constructors and
	Destructors: BEGIN and END" in Chapter 2 of _Programming Perl_;

However, Closures is in ch04, and BEGIN and END is in ch05. it now reads:

	Destructors: BEGIN and END" in Chapters 4 and 5 of _Programming Perl_,
			respectively;

	the variable in the section on "Special Global
	Variables" in Chapter 2 of Programming Perl

It now reads "Global Special Variables"

	the section on "Garbage Collection" in Chapter 5

	the -t file-test operator in Chapter 3 of Programming Perl

Should now reads:

	-t file-test operator is in Chapter 2

	Special Global Variables
