My Ideas^W Not-To-Do List

We used to call this list my "Ideas List", but that implied that we could work on them. This year I am limiting the things I work on, so the marketing department has renamed this list "Not To Do" to clarify any misunderstandings in our organization.

• Tk levels meter
• HTML Link Extractor to make text references
• Write a LiveJournal client
• GD::Graph::Economist
• Style sheet editor for the Safari web browser
• Perl debugger that specifies print statements in separate file (so source is unaffected)
• HTML Link extractor that works with a regex filter

So, this was not very corporate sounding. If you want to automatically generate corporate-speak, see spur's Perl implementation of foggy

I'm glad someone noticed my "foggy. It's a really neat little thingy. Managers higher than 2nd level consider it AI ;-)

• Managers higher than 2nd level consider it AI ;-)

That's because managers higher than 2nd level are 'A' but not 'I' and can't recognize 'I' when they see it. :-)

HTML Link Extractor to make text references

What does this mean?

I want something really simple that turns HTML with links into plain text with a list of the URLs at the end, like end notes, and I do not want to do a lot of programming every time I do this.

That's what I though at first, but then second-guessed myself. Have you seen HTML::FormatText::WithLinks? It appears to Do What You Want.
