I could talk about Test::Builder2. What Test::Builder is. How you write a
customized testing module. What's being improved in TB2. What interesting OO
techniques are being employed.
And then we can do some hacking on it!
Another possibility is to talk about TAP, the Test Anything Protocol (ok 1,
not ok 2...). How it's being written up as an IETF draft. Possible
extensions. And maybe work some on the draft, reference parsers and protocol
tests.
Finally, I'm submitting a small pile of talks to the Open Source Bridge Conf
[1] and I'm happy to take requests from the list. I'm interested to see what
people think the talks are about just based on the titles. :)
