I noticed a minor error in the perltoot.html documentation. The "Other Object Methods" section contains a sample object method\, shown here:
sub exclaim { my $self = shift; return sprintf "Hi\, I'm %s\, age %d\, working with %s"\, $self->{NAME}\, $self->{AGE}\, join("\, "\, $self->{PEERS}); }
This method should read:
sub exclaim { my $self = shift; return sprintf "Hi\, I'm %s\, age %d\, working with %s"\, $self->{NAME}\, $self->{AGE}\, join("\, "\, @{$self->{PEERS}}); }
The first bit of code returns the reference to the array in question\, not the array itself (at least on my machine). Later in the section\, we are warned about the tradeoffs of using direct hash access\, which is a bit ironic.
As I said\, this is very minor\, but I just thought someone should know....
