On each of these pages, the line print naive_string_matcher( "abcdefgh", "def" ), should be changed to print naive_string_matcher( "abcdefgh", "def" ), " ",

";

In the center of the page, change C<__closest_points_recurse> to C<_closest_points_recurse>.

The fractal program and image are correct, but the image is squashed a little bit because
a rectangular region of the complex plane is being displayed in a square canvas.
To unsquash the image, change these lines on page 486:
use constant RIGHT => 0.5;
use constant TOP => 1.25;
use constant BOTTOM => -1.25;

if ($ci < $#primes)

Change the text between "The actual figure" to "as it well might not:" to the following:

The actual figure is 4+(2*3)+(3*4)+(4*1)+(5*2) = 36, also about the expected value. However, it is not certain that falling pennies would follow a Gaussian distribution:

Remove one of the right parentheses after $expected_mean.

change:
use Statistics::Table::t

($lo, $hi) = t_significance($t, $degrees, $tails);
print "The probability that your data is due to chance:
";

to
use Statistics::Table::t;

($lo, $hi) = t_significance($t, scalar(@data) - 1, 1);
print "The probability that your data are not due to chance:
";

In Figures 15-3 and 15-4, the first number on the x-axis should be 0, not 2500.

Change the sentence
"When will your company run out of money?"

In the next full prose paragraph, change the second sentence to:

If we change our initial low guess from a 2 to a 1, it fails: root(&cashflow, 1, 100, .001) returns
nothing at all, because the subroutine returns early if the function value at both guesses are
positive. If it didn't, it would reach the maximum number of iterations without finding a root.

Remove the # in front of sub solve, and remove $error_var, from the line beginning my ($i, ....

In the third line of sub poly_fit, change:
my($i, $j, $y, @solution)
