=head1 DESCRIPTION
decoding a URL and checking whether something is a number are handled
with regular expressions, but those answers are found elsewhere in
this document (in L<perlfaq9>: ``How do I decode or create those %-encodings
-on the web'' and L<perfaq4>: ``How do I determine whether a scalar is
+on the web'' and L<perlfaq4>: ``How do I determine whether a scalar is
a number/whole/integer/float'', to be precise).
=head2 How can I hope to use regular expressions without creating illegible and unmaintainable code?
