I have the book for two weeks now and I love it.
Thanks Larry & Randal (and Johan...) !

Just wanted to take this opportunity to point-out few minor
errors.

Location               Printed              Should better be
---------------------- -------------------- --------------------
p 35,                  The count
Command Line Switches  program above        The program above
                                            (no 'count' is
                                             mentioned before)

p 48, (example)
in the 'for' loop      read(...,$RECSIZE)   read(...,$RECLEN)

p 71, 3rd pharagraph   prints hello world\n prints hello world
                                            followed by a newline

p 398, importenv.pl    require "bigrat.pl"  require "importenv.pl"

Just for the fun, I checked the translation of Job too. not bad.
What's the source ? It is nicer than the original ;-)
Randal, Larry, if at anytime, you need some help with Hebrew,
I'll be happy to assist.
