It appears that the file "navigation.pl" has been mistakenly renamed "navigate.pl" in
all the references to it on pages 8 and 9.

"Object-oriented programming (often called OOP) helps programmers run code sooner and maintain it easier at

The code says:

sub color {
my $shift;

it should be:

sub color {
my $self = shift;

The first two occurrences of the word "goto" are constant width, and the last two are normal typeface.

"indicies"

"indices"

At the end of the second (last) sentence in this paragraph, the name of the module
subroutine is misspelled;
it says "Ooogaboogoo::date::day"
but is should read:
Oogaboogo::date::day

The simplified solution suggests this assignment:

$tb = $total_bytes{$source};

This causes $tb to contain a hash reference, so the arrow operator needs to be used:

my @destinations = sort { $tb{$b} <=> $tb{$a} } keys %$tb;
should be:
my @destinations = sort { $tb->{$b} <=> $tb->{$a} } keys %$tb;

and

print "$source: $tb{$all} total bytes sent
";
should be:
print "$source: $tb->{$all} total bytes sent
";

print " $source => $destination: $tb{$destination} bytes
";
it should be:
print " $source => $destination: $tb->{$destination} bytes
"
