Version	Location	Description	Submitted by	Date Submitted
ePub	Page 40 Listing of comma_debug.pl	The listing of comma_debug.pl is supposed to show Michael Carman's regex as mentioned in the text above and seen in the debugger output following it. What is actually shown is the "faulty" version: $money =~ s/(?<!\.\d)(?<=\d)(?=(?:\d\d\d)+\b)/,/g; # $1,234.5678 which leads to $1,234.56,789 for the input $1234.56789 (so yes, the comment is also missing a '9' at the end). Instead, this line should read $money =~ s/(?<!\.)(?:\b\|\G)\d+?\K(?=(?:\d\d\d)+\b)/,/g; # $1,234.56789 The mistake is also in the files from the download section on the book website.
