last code example

The foreach loop uses a declared loop variable $filename, but the default variable $_
is used inside the loop. (Probably this was cut-and-pasted from the similar example
on p. 166 but the modification wasn't completely carried through)

last code example

I beleive that there is a simple type in the code.

The code example has the first 2 lines:

my $dir_to_process = "/etc";
opendir DH, $dir or die "Cannot open $dir: $!";

Obviously, because I am reading the book I am just a beginner and may have missed
something, however I believe that the $dir_to_process scalar variable should just be
$dir (or change lines 2 and 4 to have the $dir variables renamed $dir_to_process).

$$ should be in the index (it's introduced somewhat informally on p. 183)
