in reply to RFC - FAQ for Modification of a read-only value attempted

You spend far too much time mentioning $_ when you and I both know it's irrelevant. Whether my alias is accessed via $_ or a named variable, it's the aliasing that's screwing up the person that's running into this message.

    Good point - I let my original intent of covering the cases that appear most frequently in SoPW take control of the document.

    I'll rework the examples to focus on the common problem areas more directly, and add a separate section for cautions related to $_.

    Thanks for the feedback.
