It's worth checking the Errata page before reporting errors like this. I've had a quick look and can't see this error listed. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]

The parens aren't required on statement modifiers. The code as written in the book (well, a reasonable facsimile, anyway) works for me. If it had been `do { 1; } until...` [download] then you'd have a more valid point. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]

The code as written in the book (well, a reasonable facsimile, anyway) works for me. Are you sure about that? The code as written has mismatched parentheses. You either need to make the suggested change or remove the parenthesis after `-1`. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]

I mentally removed the trailing paren when retyping the example. Mea culpa. ...and I read that line at least 6 times trying to figure out what could be wrong with it (since jptxs bothered to post about it) before I rewrote it. Comparing the lines I noticed changes to parens at both ends and never recovered from my assumption. /: Dang you, jptxs, next time at least mention "unbalanced", will ya??

Be sure to send this (and all) typos in O'Reilly books to `bookquestions@ora.com`. -- Randal L.

I didn't bother with this post (no ++ no --) because it was factual, simple, and correct. After you updated and made accusations, here, I --'d it. If you are correct, and 1/7 of these people are guilty of personality voting, you've fingered 6/7 of them unnecessarily. That's not right. Otherwise, I have no issue with your original post. -OzzyOsbourne	[reply]

is said list really appropriate? i, like Ozzy, hadn't even looked at this node ( until now, anyway ) and a mass condemnation like this IS likely to have the effect Ozzy describes. yes, you said '2 or 3' of a list of 21 people. that's more condemnation than needs to be spread around, IMHO.	[reply]

Was looking for node. Realized it had reference to self. Searched for self. Found this. False accusation. Now voted down. 'Nuff said.	[reply]
