Hey, the perl script doesn work! Whats the deal?
The production people at the publisher tried valiantly to get the perl script typeset without any errors, but one error did slip in. It is located on the eighth line. Where the book says $o=~s/.chr(( and so on, it SHOULD say $o=~s/./chr(( and so on. I have notified the publisher and they are going to fix it in the next printing. But all of the books in the first printing will contain the error. Perhaps this will make them valuable collectors’ items one day, but for now they are useless as perl scripts. I hope that this document has covered most of the questions that readers of the Cypherpunks list are likely to have. Thank you for reading it.
