Hello

  I'm currently reading the fine documentation about class data via perldoc perltooc\, and came across the following sentence.

It has state\, behavior\, and identify\, the three crucial components of an object system.

  I *think* that the sentence would be more syntactically correct if "identify" were replaced by "identity"\, since the latter is a noun\, and the former a verb. I may well be wrong\, though.

Bob

P.S. I have enclosed a unified diff file.
