The errata pages for this product have suddenly been reset so they say there are no errata. That is simply not true. There is no new printing listed that would have justified this change.

I tried to submit something using the short form on the book page, but it caused my firefox 3 browser to display html source instead, so that component of your web pages is broken as well

4th Paragraph, starting "To look at a windown of source code..."

It is stated that the w command will list a "window of code" around the current breakpoint. This is incorrect.

The w command sets watches on variables.

It maybe that the author is trying to show is the use of the l command.

The example code following also shows the wrong command being used.

Section on Tracing, explanation of W

The description of the W command says that this sets or deletes watches. This is an error.

Lowercase w sets watches while uppercase W deletes them.

__PACKAGE__ does not appear in the index. Other "double-underscore"
keywords do appear (e.g. __DATA__, __FILE__, etc).
