Hi brian! See below for how I corrected the problems you had pointed.

I'm still pointing to the online version of the first edition. > Mac OS X isn't "mostly compatible with UNIX", it is a *nix. > Well, as I said: 1. I don't think many people will immediately understand what a *nix is. 2. UNIX is almost immediately understandable to people who know about it. 3. Mac OS X diverges from traditional UNIXes in the fact that /etc is not usable (or at least wasn't), that the native GUI is Cocoa/Carbon instead of X-Windows, in the fact files have meta-data (which breaks tar compatibility), etc. So I'd rather put this statement. I hate such (useless, IMHO) terminology pedanticness. I'm quite pedantic myself, but still use Linux instead of GNU/Linux most of the time, open-source instead of free software, and call the X Windows System "X-Windows". So I don't mind calling UNIX clone-a-like UNIXes, or otherwise many people won't understand what I'm talking about. > Use.perl is missing from the Web Forums link Added. It was already in the links. I mentioned it's more of a blogs + news feed site, not that it matters too much. {{Memo to self}}: add http://community.livejournal.com/perl/ too. Hope it helps, Shlomi Fish BTW brian, there was a use.perl.org journal entry (misplaced, sorry) where someone complained about how unpopular Perl-only journals have been in the past. He also suggested that since Dr. Dobbs has many articles only about Java, C++, etc. then it will be a good idea to create a journal exclusively for dynamic languages: Perl/Python/Ruby, PHP, Tcl, JavaScript, Lisp/Scheme, Lua and Io, Haskell and O'Caml, APL/J, and other cool, poweruser languages. ( Possibly with a column teaching ANSI C and C++ - ;-) ) This may prove more popular than just a Perl journal, and will apply to a larger audience that share common interest. Often you can read about a technique in Python and implement something similar in Perl (or vice versa or with different languages), which is often not the case for C or Java. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.shlomifish.org/ If it's not in my E-mail it doesn't happen.
