perlfaq4: How do I expand function calls in a string?


* deleted an extra "of"

* added an example of the Interpolation module

 This is documented in L<perlref>, and although it's not the easiest
 thing to read, it does work. In each of these examples, we call the
-function inside the braces of used to dereference a reference. If we
+function inside the braces used to dereference a reference. If we
 have a more than one return value, we can construct and dereference an
 anonymous array. In this case, we call the function in list context.

        sub timestamp { my $t = localtime; \$t }

        print "The time is ${ timestamp() }.\n";

+The C<Interpolation> module can also do a lot of magic for you. You can
+specify a variable name, in this case C<E>, to set up a tied hash that
+does the interpolation for you. It has several other methods to do this
+as well.

Changes to perlfaq.pod intro


I've updated the script that creates perlfaq.pod so it has a completely
different introduction. It's the same information edited, corrected, 
and much nicer sounding (I hope).

Take a look at the source for the script. After people have a chance
to comment on it I'll update perlfaq.pod.

perlfaq2: Perl on the Net: FTP and WWW Access


Anyone care if I take this entry out of perlfaq2? I'm not sure
what it's answering, and it's not even a question.

=head2 Perl on the Net: FTP and WWW Access

To get the best performance, pick a site from the list at
http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html . From there you can find the quickest
site for you.

You may also use xx.cpan.org where "xx" is the 2-letter country code
for your domain; e.g. Australia would use au.cpan.org. [Note: This
only applies to countries that host at least one mirror.]
