in reply to Another update: "Exploring Programming Language Architecture in Perl"

I know this is a terrible nit to pick, but could you please go through the whole text reading "it's" as "it is", and "its" as "belonging to it", and correct the uses of "its" and "it's"?

    Heh! :-)
    Exactly the sort of editorial help I need.
    I've actually bought a copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves", I guess I should probably read it :-)
    Update I've made the changes locally. They'll be visible on the next update.

      The best book I know of for this kind of advice is the venerable Strunk and White classic Elements of Style.

        Thanks for the pointer. I've now bought and read that, and I have to agree it's a wonderfully concise and elegant description of all of my mistakes ;-).
        Seriously I'm at this very moment reviewing my source text with that book in hand, hopefully the results will be apparent next time I push.
