We just don't know.

Oh yeah, what am I talking about when I get there?  Requests?

I warn you not to just let me ramble.  Last time that happened the
subject turned into Class::DBI and XXX Video Databases.

Actually, if I had my way I might be inspired to finish writing
"Sufficiently Encapsulated Magic Is Indistinguishable From Technology"
about how using frightening Perl Magic inside a module can produce
smooth, DWIM interfaces outside with no evidence of the turmoil going
on underneith.  Lots of stuff about using tying, closures, custom import()
routines, symbol table hacks, etc...  Explaining how things like CLASS.pm,
Class::Accessor, Class::Data::Inheritable, Sub::Uplevel and File::chdir 
work.  A cro-magnon version of the talk is here:

Or I could give the talks I was going to give at the German Perl Workshop.
"MakeMaker is DOOMED!  Use Module::Build" which is really just me ranting
about how much I hate MakeMaker and how much better Module::Build is,
and "Y I Like YAML" which is really just me ranting about how much I hate
XML and how much better YAML is.  The MakeMaker part is here:
