Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


Confirmed errors:

[195] last paragraph;
"The /m modifier allows ^ and $ to match immediately before and after an embedded newline, respectively."

It ought to read "after and before". The example in the next line correctly states "/^=head[1-7]/m would match ... right after a newline ..."

(410)  Near page bottom, line of code beginning "return ...";

	return $errcount ? undef() : %record;
Should be:
        return $errcount ? undef : \%record;

Here's the entire piece of code, corrected:

    sub cite {
	my (%record, $errcount);
	...
	return $errcount ? undef : \%record;
    }
    $op_cit = cite($bid) 	or die "couldn't make a reference\n";



(591)  8th last line of code;
Change:
 print colored("venom lack\n", "red", on_black");
to:
 print colored("venom lack\n", "red", "on_black");


(747)  2nd paragraph in "Discussion" section;
"It looks strange to see all those chained method invocation"
should read:
"It looks strange to see all those chained method invocations"



(754)  6th last line;
The line:

# Iterate over addresses give on command line.
should read:
# Iterate over addresses given on command line.



(783)  "Problem" paragraph, 5th line;
"display a list of product to edit"
should read:
"display a list of products to edit"
