Not specifically Perl-related, but I thought others here might be

> Search is one of the most important applications used on the
> internet, but it also poses some of the most interesting challenges
> in computer science. Providing high-quality search requires
> understanding across a wide range of computer science disciplines,
> from lower-level systems issues like computer architecture and
> distributed systems to applied areas like information retrieval,
> machine learning, data mining, and user interface design. In this
> talk I'll describe some of the challenges in these areas, discuss
> some of the interesting applications related to search that Google
> has developed over the past few years, and I'll highlight some of the
> behind-the-scenes pieces of infrastructure that we've built in order
> to operate Google's services. Along the way, I'll share some
> interesting observations derived from Google's web data.

> I think that both of these are worth attending. I hope
