This talk co vers the code needed to do this with plenty of pictures along the way.\n\n - Getting and stitching maps (open street map - LWP::Simple + MogileFS)\n- Generating KML - getting someone else to do the donkey work (draw polylin es in google earth)\n- Overlaying KML data (XML::LibXML) lat/lon to pixels on map (inc fudge factor)\n- Imlib to put data points / lines / key with transparencies onto th map\n- Generating PDFs (PDF::API2) - scale and spli t large image into separate pages\n- Printing PDFs (Cups)\n\nBusinesses us age - magazine distribution decisions made from the results.\n\nSome of it hitting a CPAN mirror near you when we get time to package it.

Is this a law of nat ure? During 40 minutes I will show how a radically different web framework from the Smalltalk world works and why it rocks!\n\nI do not entertain an y hopes of converting hard core Perl mongers to become Smalltalk freaks li ke myself - but I am convinced that I will be able to inspire and create s ome interest.

A way to compensate for Perl's lack of type checking is to use some ideas from the programming by contract parad igm.\n\nDuring this talk\, we will go through the main ideas from the prog ramming by contract paradigm and see how they are implemented by various P erl modules.\n\nWe will focus in particular on the module Sub::Contract th at offers a simple and pragmatic implementation of the most useful aspects of contract programming.

Simply put\, different programming la nguage characteristica are important at different phases in a project. At some point it is likely to be a mismatch between what you need from your l anguage and what it provides. For these reasons\, it is not uncommon for p rogram evolution to include a rewrite-in-Java step\, with the associated p ains.\n\nIn a sense\, this is the same mismatch as the one between the con structs the language provides and the program you are trying to write. Not until we have "taught" the language about our problem domain -- generally by writing libraries -- can we start expressing ourselves in terms from t he specification\, rather than in loops and lists.\n\nThis talk presents T h\, a dynamic programming language that is evolvable in parallel with your programs. Not only can you gradually (=in parts of the program) add thing s like type annotations to get static checking and compile-time optimisati on\, but entirely new language constructs to capture recurring patterns in your program or domain-specific checkers. We are extending the concept of library to include programming language extensions turning anyone -- incl uding you -- into a potential language designer.\n\nThis is an ongoing res earch collaboration between Purdue University and IBM T.J. Watson Research .

The parser is written in Perl 6's own grammar/rules syntax - a little bit like regexes on steroids\, but a whole load more rea dable. Then NQP\, a subset of Perl 6\, is used to implement the actions to transform the parse tree into an abstract syntax tree\, which in turn is transformed into Parrot Bytecode by the Parrot Compiler Toolkit.\n\nIn thi s talk\, I'll explore the Parrot Compiler Toolkit architecture that many p eople are using to work on Parrot-targeting compilers. I will then focus o n how we're using it to build Perl 6\, and give a glimpse into the progres s so far and the development road map.

In this talk I'll take you on a whirlwind tou r of many things in Perl 6 and show you how they build upon and/or relate to each other. Along the way you'll see variables\, types\, objects\, mult i-method dispatch\, junctions\, grammars and more!

I will talk about how Perl has contribu ted to the success of an important project at a large Swiss Bank.\n\nI am currently working for UBS in Zürich within a group that is responsible for the bank's cash management applications. A couple of years ago a new appl ication was commissioned to replace the bank's aging and diverse systems.\ n\nFind out how Perl was able to integrate the new application into the ba nk's standard infrastructure comprising interfaces to 13 subsystems includ ing databases\, webservers\, communications\, high availability\, monitori ng\, logging and archiving.\n\nI'll take a look at some of the problems th at were faced\, some of the solutions that were implemented and some of th e CPAN modules which came to the rescue.\n\nThis talk is aimed at a genera l audience and whilst there will be some technical detail\, a detailed kno wledge of Perl will not be required. Neither will any banking knowledge.
