<DIV>
<P>But as you gain more experience and your projects get larger you enter the
dangerous and exotic world of large-scale design, with mistakes so seductive you
won't notice until years after you make them, and so dangerous you can't risk
fixing them even once you do.</P>
<P>In the style of "You Can't Get There From Here", this talk will cover the
theoretical basis of some of the worst design mistakes, and take you on a tour
of some the biggest mistakes in the Perl world (including mine).</P>
