The unconfirmed error reports are from readers.  They have not yet been 
approved or disproved by the author or editor and represent solely the
opinion of the reader.

Here's a key to the markup:
        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


{10}  Last example;
The final example on Page 10 will not print "Use of uninitialized value"
error before print "3 6" because the assignment to position 5 happens before any
attempt to read it.  This follows the behavior explained in the preceding text.


{27}  first main paragraph from the bottom;
We already know that + has higher precedence than =, so it happens before =, and that
rules out (1) and (2).

We also know that =~ has higher precedence than =, so that rules out (3).

To choose between (4) and (5) we need to know whether = takes precedence over =~ or
vice versa.

^^ this has already been established, this should be between + and =~


(154)  2nd figure;
The first letter S down the tree should be A instead of S. 


(239)  2nd paragraph and onwards;
In the artical Richard talks about probabilites A and B and there converses ^A and
^B. But many of the "^" are missing in the text leaving the reader confused.


{286} Page 286 of "Computer Science & Perl Programming": there's a "$l" or
maybe a "$1" where it should be "$lo".

Ordinarily a typo like that I wouldn't mention, but $1 is a valid and
commonly-seen variable in Perl land.
