The splash screen for Writer's World Maker (WWM) announces that the program is designed to "help you to summon your imaginary worlds to the printed page." And, considering its flexibility and thoroughness in some areas -- especially defining characters -- at times it almost realizes this goal. However, interface problems, as well as a fannish orientation at the expense of detailed planning in other areas, makes it a program more suitable for wannabes than working writers.
This is an excellent video comment on modern society and the remix is good too:

Heya folks,
I have a computer that is dying to have UNIX installed. However due to the fact that I can pinch a penny until it screams for mercy, I would like to install a FREE version if UNIX.
I have a version of Red Hat Linux, but I am afraid that is not enough like Unix to really get a good... (5 Replies)
Graph::Writer::XML(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Graph::Writer::XML(3pm)NAME
Graph::Writer::XML - write out directed graph as XML
SYNOPSIS
use Graph;
use Graph::Writer::XML;
$graph = Graph->new();
# add edges and nodes to the graph
$writer = Graph::Writer::XML->new();
$writer->write_graph($graph, 'mygraph.xml');
DESCRIPTION
Graph::Writer::XML is a class for writing out a directed graph in a simple XML format. The graph must be an instance of the Graph class,
which is actually a set of classes developed by Jarkko Hietaniemi.
The XML format is designed to support the Graph classes: it can be used to represent a single graph with a collection of nodes, and edges
between those nodes. The graph, nodes, and edges can all have attributes specified, where an attribute is a (name,value) pair, with the
value being scalar.
METHODS
new()
Constructor - generate a new writer instance.
$writer = Graph::Writer::XML->new();
This doesn't take any arguments.
write_graph()
Write a specific graph to a named file:
$writer->write_graph($graph, $file);
The $file argument can either be a filename, or a filehandle for a previously opened file.
KNOWN BUGS
Attribute values must be scalar. If they're not, well, you're on your own.
SEE ALSO

The perl module used to actually write out the XML. It handles entities etc.
