PIR Book Typos

[rblasch]

Here's a small patch with a few typos I've found in the PIR book. Not sure if I got everything right, though, please check.

The other fixes in this patch are good.

Hmmm ... seems everybody's reading the PIR book this morning :-). See TT #116.

I'll manually correct the places where we have nothing but spelling errors and where there's no ambiguity. See r41928 and r41929. But in one location (docs/book/pir/ch04_variables.pod) Ron's suggested correction differs from mine, so I'll let wiser minds choose.

Ron,

I guess my problem is that I don't understand what it means for something -- in this case, strings -- to be "support logical". If I did understand that, then your addition of a comma makes sense and I would apply that rather than deleting the two words as I suggested in TT #1116.

Thank you very much.

As I see it, if a number or string "supports logical," it can be used as term with the logical operators.

    $P0 = box 123
    $P1 = box "abc"
    $P2 = and $P0, $P1
    say $P2

The phrase "support logical" should be deleted, it was a stray leftover from an edit to make the text clearer.

Handled in r41935; see TT #1116.
