Sorry that I'm not using CVS, but thought you'd want to know about these
anyway. These refer to the pickingUpPerl.pdf document which I
downloaded on 17DE99.
Logic:
Section 3.4.2.2, first code excerpt, line 5 reads:
unshift (@queue, "Customer 2");
It should read
unshift (@queue, "Customer 3");
Logic:
Section 4.4,
until the expression becomes true
should read either:
until the expression becomes false
or
while the expression remains true
I would suggest the latter of the two alternatives as it reinforces the
keyword being discussed ("while").
Grammar:
Section 5.6, first paragraph. "At this point" used twice in close
succession. I suggest removing the first one so that the first sentance
starts "We have now discussed".
Grammar:
Section 8.2.2, paragraph 2
will note since a* will any string
should be
will note since a* will match any string
Grammar:
Section 8.2.6, paragraph 2
^aa* will match not strings that contain
would sound better as
^aa* will not match strings that merely contain
Typo?
Section 8.3, paragraph 1
expression will evaluate to $1$ if a match occurs
The $'s seem to be out of place. I believe this should appear as just
the digit 1, but perhaps in code font. This could also just be a
rendering error with my PDF viewer (Adobe Weblink plugin version 1.2 on
SunOS).
Spelling:
Section 8.4, paragraph 5
can all be reduces to the original
should be
can all be reduced to the original
Grammar:
Section 9.3, paragraph 5
we use list as the last parameter
should be
we use a list a the last parameter
(the first form implies "list" is a variable name instead of a term)
Grammar:
Section 9.3, paragraph 5
Note that had any other variables followed @names, the would
should be
Note that had any other variables followed @names, they would
That's all..
