sounds like this is getting towards the end (just joined the list) ..
noticed a couple/few things while reading through some of the chapters:

03.taint-checking.html
* "putting it somewhere close the front of your path," should be "close
to"

11.configuration.html
* "If I attempt to modify any of these variables Perl give me a warning."
should be "gives" or "will give"
* "These data can come from" ... should that be "This data"?
* Saw a few spots where a module name wasn't linked to it's pod (seemed
that most places were) ..
"The Config module exposes"
"I can use the Readonly module"
"I find Getopt::Std, Getopt::Long, and 87 other"

14.persistence.html
* There's a couple places where it's displaying "Data::Dumper-new>"
instead of "Data::Dumper->new" (conversion issue?)
* "I give Data::Dumper-new> an anonymous arrays" should be "array"
(singular)
* (just curious; did find the rest quite useful, including the in-depth
Dumper discussion) Was SQLite considered for mention in this chapter? While
it's more robust in terms of being close to a "proper" db server, it being
server-less it does fit right into "This chapter is about lightweight
techniques I can use when I don't need a full server back-end." and has the
advantage (also DBD::CSV or DBD::AnyData) of being lightweight/fast to get
up-and-going but also a precursor to a "proper" db server (the transition
can be as easy as changing the DSN in the DBI->connect call)

A2.brians_guide.html
* "You can check the most module version" should be "most recent"
==> excellent read .. found it completely accurate and very easy to relate
to, and something that every programmer should see
