I'd also like to wonder whether anybody has written a similar volume
for Perl. If so, I haven't seen it. Seems rather a natural, though.

Subject: imaginary languages
I have a friend who is writing on the "imaginry language" of Hildegard von
Bingen. We were talking about glossolalia and xenoglossia, and I mentioned
to him that he ought perhaps to seek generality in his study by looking at
other cases of imaginary languages. I could come up only with a few cases:
Swift, of course, with his "little language." More, Utopia, caused me to
look into James Knowlson, _Universal Language Schemes in England and France_,
1600-1800 (Toronto, 1975), with his interesting Chapter 4: "Ideal Languages
in the Imaginary Voyage." He mentions, of course, Rabelais and George
Psalmanaaszaar's Formosan Language, familiar to all of us. I remember a
recent case (about 10 years or so ago), but I do not really remember it at
all; I believe it concerned two young women. Does anybody out there have
anything handy on imaginary languages?

Subject: London architecture?
I have recently compiled a Web page whose subject is the architecture of
London and aspects of its urban life that one could at least argue have to
do with its buildings. Thus "Online resources for London architecture" at
<http://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk/year1/architecture.html>. I would be most grateful
for references to online resources that you think belong on that page --
keeping in mind that life is short, etc.
Thanks.

Subject: Comparative teaching exercise
Help with research:
I teach Professional Communications as an undergraduate course at Monash
University, Melbourne Australia. In this course my students do an exercise
where they must communicate with students overseas via the internet and
reflect on various social and technological aspects of that communication.
I am trying to conduct some research into similar projects in order to try
to assess our project, its efficacy, educational value and originality.
If you use a similar exercise for your students,if you have had experience
of this kind of exercise in any way or if you simply know of such exercises
being conducted anywhere in the world, I would very much like to hear from
you.
