Dave,

Where can I send my editorial comments, if you even want them? I also have something to say about the first example in chapter 2, the cd final example.

Thanks,

Matthew

Dave, an idea: It might be useful for you to include some text in the revised edition that shows (fairly specifically) how something WAS done in the first edition, where you've revise a section. Even some of the replaced sample code. It might be an excellent way for readers to realize "Hey, that's the way I've done it in several programs. I'll improve it the way Dave has."

Heck, if bytes aren't expensive, maybe you could do this in the form of having the first edition by an Appendix, and the notes I've described above could be the effect of "The Circles.pm module used in the first edition (see section 7.13 of the first edition, in the Appendix) was replaced by the Trigonometry.pm module, which is actively maintained." Etc.
