Don't worry. There is still time to create a talk and we will accept talk nominations up until the start of the meeting. If you are still looking for modules to talk about just drop over to
http://wellington.pm.org/bin/cpan_roulette.cgi
take the module it suggests and tell us a bit about it. You might include:
* what it does
* basic synopsis
* possible uses
* its cpants/kwalitee/cpan ratings
* who wrote it
* similar modules
You can do this even if you never knew the module existed before and thus have
never used it! Help us give a whirlwind tour of CPAN!
* After the talks are finished there will be pizza and drinks for everyone couresty of Flat Rate Recruitment.
I hope to see you there,
Ben Marsh
