[Mastering-perl] Check out the chapters on configuration, subroutines, and Pod

[Florian Merges]

Hi,

I know you'll rewrite the section about Getopt::Long... to mention this
short/long mixture acceptance

But also typo on:

Getopt::Long section
------------------------------

The Getopt::Long module can handle the single character switches, bundled
single character swithces

s/swithces/switches/

ber 0, for isntance).

s/isntance/instance/

Another thing, you speak about boolean values(), required values (=),
multiple values(@) but I don't see nothing about optional values with value
(:).

Interactive and non interactive
------------------------------------------

Could be interesting to mention IO::Prompt which save you from the
complexities related to testing with -t

perl's Config
-----------------

To see if I'm a threaded perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Config;

if ($Config{usethreads}) {
   print "has thread support\n";
}



Regards,

Florian
