Perf board layout question

[johnny5]

I am preparing to build my first perf-board pedal (Barber LTD that's been documented well here) and have been studying the layouts. I pretty much get the perf layout except for the little RED & WHITE SQUARES. What are they or what do they mean? 

Do they mean a break in the circuit? If so, how is it done? Just scratch off the copper on the bottom side?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you mean Veroboard or Stripboard...In this case, the answer is ''yes'' you have to cut the the trace. I do it by hand with a small drill bit; just couple of turn over the hole and the copper must go.

That makes sense, thanks for the response.
