Stuff I just printed out to read before bed... it'll probably put me right to sleep 
Everything below is related, but I haven't printed these out:
Oh man... how exciting. 
I wish I had more time.
Markup Languages: Theory and Practice is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research, development, and practical applications of text markup for computer processing, management, manipulation, and display. Specific areas of interest include: new syntaxes for generic markup languages; refinements to existing markup languages; theory of formal languages as applied to document markup; systems for mark-up; uses of markup for printing, hypertext, electronic display, content analysis, information reuse and repurposing, search and retrieval, and interchange; shared applications of markup languages; and techniques and methodologies for developing markup languages and applications of markup languages.
I only got to check it out briefly since I'm already late, but it seems like at least some articles are available for free. Gotta check it out more when I get home.
Ok, that was pretty much totally worthless. I went through their entire archive. Some (a few) of the articles looked pretty interesting, but every article cost 8 bucks. What a waste of time... I shouldn't have even blogged this 
I'm considering just deleting this...
You know, I never used to remember all the steps to creating a class in Perl. I always had to look it up, and it's one of those things you don't do very often. The "full" version is something like:
package Classname;
sub new{
my $class = shift;
my $self = {};
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
}
Well, I realized there's an easy one-liner that's much easier to remember:
package Classname;
sub new{
return bless {}, shift;
}
If you want to throw data in there, you can:
sub new{
return bless {foo=>1,bar=>2}, shift;
}
Obviously if you want to call any methods on your object to initialize it you'll have to split that line up, but this gives you an easy-to-remember version that's simple to split up.
