These applications often must grow quickly and organically t o be successful\, and at some point they become difficult to manage easily .\n\nThis state of the application is often referred to as 'the big ball o f mud'.

Most CPAN modules to do this proved inadequate because they based their wo rk on input fields\, making it difficult to validate data on out-of-band i nformation or complex relationships. I created Brick (Business Rules in Cl osures\, 'kay?)\n\nA "brick" is just a business rule represented by a clos ure\, for instance\, the input date has to be before April 17. Each brick has access to all of the input data and can easily represent complex relat ionship without code acrobatics. Creating a brick puts it into the "bucket "\, after which the programmer can compose existing bricks to create large r rules\, which are also bricks. Since everything is made of of small piec es\, it's easy to show the user (or programmer) exactly what happened\, or to explain a particular composition as text (and\, future work includes g oing from that same text description back to code).

This talk will introduce you to Perl Critic\, a static source code analyzer for your code. Learn about the ideas behind Perl Critic\, t he implementation of the system\, and how to apply it and improve the qual ity and consistency of your code.

However\, the out-of-the-box (or off-of-the-CPAN) solution might not be exactly what you are looking for. This talk will s how how projects like Bangs have taken Perl Critic and built upon it to cr eate a custom environment for statically analyzing your code. It will als o show you how to truly embrace and extend Perl\nCritic to fit the needs o f your development shop.

It discusses at length the standard language constructs provided by Perl that facilitate object- oriented programming\, its advantages and deficiencies. The methods are de scribed to work around some of the limitations of the object model. Some m ore advanced topics include discussing multiple inheritance\, building aut omatic properties accessors and creating singleton classes. Finally\, non -idiomatic ways of doing OO in Perl are described\, in partilular objects as closures with state\, inside-out objects\, and objects with dynamic met hods via the Class::Prototyped module.

This talk examines the Perl 6 object model and constraints. We start out with writing simple classes\, then move on to using roles to obt ain greater software re-use. We then move on to look at constraints\, whic h help us to write safer code without losing too much dynamism. No prior k nowledge of Perl 6 required.

In many cases\, this allows programmers to get more done in the same amount of time as they would take to write all t he code manually.\n\nThis presentation will show how Perl can be used to g enerate other languages and Perl itselft.\n\nThen\, it will be introduced a XML-based application description language\, which allows a programmer t o describe *what* he wants to produce\, not *how* to implement it.
