Beats me.  Speaking for myself, there's too much literature and not
enough time, so I mostly just ignore the literature and try to invent
the things Perl needs, or find better ways of incorporating ideas
already percolating in the Perl community.  Then when someone like
you points out something related in the literature, it sometimes
happens that someone (usually someone other than me) will go off
somewhere and read some of it and report if there are some good ideas
to steal somehow.  :)
