I've been doing a lot of hackery lately with JavaScript and the DOM. DHTML 
type stuff. I could probably do anything from a lightning talk to a fairly 
chunky one on "bending the DOM to your will". Not perl, but then there's 
nothing wrong with diversifying....

Would a talk on Object-Oriented Perl be of interest to people? I don't 
know how many of us are OOPites and how many aren't. Or if an intro to OOP 
doesn't interest, I could do a review of some of the helper modules out on 
CPAN for making OOP easier. Again, could be anything from lightning to 
chunky.

Could do an intro to RDF - I touched on it in my RSS talk, but it's a 
whole complex topic in itself.

(I should point out that I'm also quite happy to not do any talks, or do 
them some other time.)

Or with a bit of planning, we could see if we could come up with a list 
and have someone argue for and someone argue against each of them. A 
debate and discussion might be an interesting format for an evening.
