<li>Josh Barratt: <i>AnyEvent -- Perl Asynchronous Programming</i>
<br>
Abstract: <br>
Event driven programming has been a powerful paradigm for years,
but it's emerging as an increasingly important way to work.
Making events easy is part of what has made node.js so exciting,
and is possible in Python with Eventlet and Ruby with
EventMachine. Perl's answer to this is very mature and flexible:
AnyEvent. As well as an introduction to the module, how to use
it, and some of the other modules in the "family", we'll cover
some before/after examples of synchronous code made
asynchronous. </li>
<li>Gabe Costello: <i>Epistemology & Perl Oracles</i> <br>
Abstract: <br>
Most of us are familiar with the output of Perl's native test
oracle every time we install a module from CPAN, ok, not ok.
When testing, did you ever think that you might need to know
more than that to isolate faults? This discussion covers the
Test Anything Protocol (TAP), capturing system events &
using Perl to lean more what you know & what you don't know
about the application you are testing. </li>
</ol>
