I could give a short talk on abusing tied hashes to conveniently call 
functions during interpolation. It's kind of useful for things like

  print "Search for $Google{'angry ants with bad breath'} please.\n";

producing

  Search for http://www.google.com/search?q=angry+ants+with+bad+breath 
please.

I wrote up a small module to make it easy do things like this a while 
back, I could dig it up and talk about it.
