SUBMIT A TALK PROPOSAL

Call for Papers is open and will close on August 1st. Workshop topic is "Two Perls", to give relevance both to Perl 5 and Perl 6. We're however open to any "perlish" topic. Submit your proposals!

Subscriptions are still open for the Perl Course, by Stefano Rodighiero (author of Pocket Perl). The course will be run on September 7th 2011, the day before the workshop.

The course is in Italian language and free to attend. You can subscribe on the workshop web site or by sending an email to info@perl.it!

It's also possible to subscribe directly at the venue the day of the course. However, in order to help us choose the best suited room, it's suggested you book in advance.
