Perl is a scripting language, with a quirky syntax...

my $name = "Bruce";
print "Hi, ", $x, "
";

-----
The above example is quite "quirky" no doubt :-) Less quirky would be:

print "Hi, ", $name, "
";

"1..3 represents 1, 2, 3. You can include the 3 with a third period."

"include" should be "exclude"

In applying the many errata on p127, I came across errors in the errata, as well as additional changes that seem to be needed. I'm not a Ruby programmer, so I might not get this completely right. The numbering scheme is the same as that in the existing errata for p127.

1) The line of text "ruby script/generate model trails" is removed by the errata, but the very next line says "You just created the model and". Is it still correct that a model has just been generated?

3) The existing errata says "At the top of page 127". It should say, "At the top of page 128".

6) The second-to-last line on p128: Is it correct that this line reads "has_many :trails" or should it be "has_many :trail"?

Last paragraph

"Modify the Trails" should be "Modify the Trail".

Third line from the bottom

In light of the errata changes at the bottom of p128, the word "Locations" on p129 should be "Location".
