1999-10-01  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* pickingUpPerl.texi (Strings): Reworked node structure in this
	section to make a tree more easy to navigate.

1999-09-27  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* pickingUpPerl.texi (Double-Quoted Strings): Uri Guttman
	<uri@sysarch.com> mentioned that discussion on \n was problematic.
	(Numbers): Uri Guttman <uri@sysarch.com> pointed out that
	discussion of use integer was too early and unneeded; moved it to
	a footnote
	(Scalar Interpolation): Added footnote that mentions why @code{'}
	is a problematic character for scalars.
	(Arrays): Uri Guttman <uri@sysarch.com> and Kragen Sitaker
	<kragen@pobox.com> noted that I called "array variables", "list
	variables".  I have done this since 1991, and they were the first
	to correct me.  I guess it's my Scheme influence.  :)

1999-09-26  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* pickingUpPerl.texi (A First Perl Program): Fixed references to
	STDIN and <STDIN> to read properly.  Thanks to Dave Cassell
	<cassell@mercury.cor.epa.gov> for noticing the error.

1999-03-16  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* ChangeLog: spell checked the ChangeLog

	* pickingUpPerl.texi (A Digression---Truth Values): Added the
	detailed discussion of truth values and created the table to
	assist in that discussion.
	(Context Considerations): Added this section.  I have found a
	table like the one in this section is invaluable to students, so I
	added it here.  It doesn't really fit in the Hash chapter, but
	that is the point where the reader has seen everything in the
	table, so it ended up being the logical place.  Perhaps it should
	be labeled "A Digression" like others have been.
	(General Index): Renamed this from Concept Index to General Index
	(Preface): Folded what was called the Forward  into the preface.
	I wanted to leave Forward unused since we may be able to get
	someone famous to write a Forward for the book.  Anyone want to
	ask Larry?  :)

1999-03-15  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* pickingUpPerl.texi (Comparison Operators): Wordsmithed this section.
	(Numerical Operators): Added the table, and added a discussion of
	associativity and precedence
	(Undefined Variables): Expanded the section, corrected error about
	saying undef is a constant (it's a function, duh!) 
	(Summary of Scalar Operators): Created this section to be a final
	look at all the operators together.
	(The Context (List vs. Scalar)): Added some verbiage to this section

1999-03-14  Bradley M. Kuhn  <bkuhn@ebb.org>

	* Makefile (all): Set up so that the latest Texinfo package (3.1f)
	is used.

	and wrote a better descriptions with examples.

	literal section.

	last time without it :).

	quickly.
