I figured there was something horribly out of whack, although there 
are other portions of the same listing in which the tildes show up 
okay. I'd never thought about it before, but I suppose that editing a 
Perl book would tend to be a nightmare once the publisher's markup 
software had mangled it. Anyway, thanks for your help and I think 
that this also explains some other stuff that I've come across that 
looks very odd and appears to be broken.
