I actually saw your request for this on the list a couple weeks ago, 
but had thought it okay to wait until the meeting was closer before 
replying.

To be brief, my talk would be about the design of the Muldis D 
language and of its implementation in the form of Muldis DB, where it 
is a Perl hosted language that specializes in working with relational 
databases.

Unlike other Perl tools for working with databases, the paradigm of 
Muldis DB is based on storing all database centric code in databases 
themselves as stored procedures, such that the databases are 
essentially reusable program modules that also persist user data; 
some databases could be code-only as well, making them essentially 
Muldis D libraries; either way, the host Perl code would invoke these 
procedures directly almost as if they were Perl subroutines.

Relevant urls include http://search.cpan.org/dist/Language-MuldisD/ 
and http://search.cpan.org/dist/Muldis-DB/ .

I do not expect to have any slideshow, but I can do walkthrus of code 
and/or design docs.

I won't know until the meeting date is closer as to whether I can 
demonstrate it actually running or not, but I will try.
