Incorrect description of V template for pack()
In Appendix C (page 552) the V template for the function 'pack()' is described as corresponding to:
"A big-endian long (32-bit) value."
This is incorrect, and should read:
"A little-endian long (32-bit) value."

Parantheses needed
On the line:
Print "Give me a name:"; chomp $name =<>;
there is an error, it should actually be:
"Give me a name:"; chomp ($name =<>);
This is true for all the sunsequent statements containing "chomp" variable.

Missing code file
This is regarding the missing demo.dbm file in the code download
for this book.
Since this particular sample file is not available in the code bundle, you
could instead use some other sample DBM database file to run the code. You could also create a sample DBM database following the instructions on page 437 and use this file in the code.
