> Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC) is an
inexpensive ($75) perl
> users and developers conference, with a mix of
tutorials and
> technical talks.  The conference is set in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
> and so is relatively accessible from both the
East and the Midwest.

> YAPC began as a grassroots users conference,
from discussions
> among Perl Mongers, and has grown from there.
We would like
> to invite you to join us for two days of Perl,
people, and
> demonstrations, at a price that shouldn't hurt
your wallet.
> There will be a limit of just under 500 people
for the conference.
>
> A number of members of the Perl community are
contributing to this
> event, including:
>
>    Larry Wall, Abigail, Damian Conway,
