The offending text is:
--
for 1..4 {
NEXT { print " potato, "; }
LAST { print "." }
print;
}
Between each iteration, the NEXT block executes, printing "potato". At the end of the
final iteration, the LAST block prints a period. So the final result is "1 potato, 2
potato, 3 potato, 4".
--
The typo is that the full stop should be within the quotes in the final sentence, as
it is added to the output by by the "LAST" instruction.
