Yeah, but I'm definitely not ready to do such a presentation. FWIW, I was
planning on covering some of the following areas:
- parameter validation for subroutines/methods
- exception handling
- logging
- perhaps on-the-fly code generation (something I do a heck of a lot of)
- ??? - I'll take requests. If there's something people want to hear
about, I can take a crack at it.
The first 3 items are there because I wrote modules for them,
Params::Validate, Exception::Class, and Log::Dispatch respectively. The
latter two modules are seeing pretty wide adoption, especially
Log::Dispatch, which has pretty much become the "standard" logging
solution for Perl, especially now that people have built some log4j type
solutions on top of it. I do use the word "standard" in quotes
intentionally. This is Perl, after all ;)
Given my current workload, I don't know if I could do this for October.
November would probably work.
