DESCRIPTION:Perl would be a rather boring and not very useful language if i
t wasn't for the nifty function called "use". And while "use" seems to be
rather simple and straight-forward ("use Some::Module\;") it is a very pow
erful tool if used right.\n\nWe will take a very close look at what happen
s during a simple "use Some::Module":\n\n* Compile Time vs. Run Time\n* Co
nversion of module name to filename\n* %INC\n* @INC\n\nWe will also look a
t various ways to alter @INC (push\, lib\, FindBin).\n\nAfter those basics
we turn our attention to the code beeing used\, i.e. the "import" functio
n and various implementations of it (Exporter\, Exporter::*)\n\nThe fun be
gins with custom written "import" functions. We'll take look at several...
\n\nAnd if there's some time left it is going to be spend with coderefs-in
-@INC.\n\nIf all of this doesn't sound too interesting\, you should visit
my talk anyway\, if only to hear me trying to say "Waak::Gorshle" (there a
in't no "foo" in my talk!)

DESCRIPTION:CPANTS is an acronym for CPAN Testing Service. (I assume everyo
ne knows that CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network).\n\nThe
goals of the CPANTS project are to provide some sort of quality measure ca
lled Kwalitee and lots of metadata for all distributions on\nCPAN.\n\nResu
lts are available from the CPANTS website which is currently located at ht
tp://cpants.dev.zsi.at\n\nCPANTS is not about running the test suite that
most distributions\nship with. This is done by the CPAN testers: http://te
sters.cpan.org/\n\nOne big limitation of CPANTS is that it cannot actually
execute any code: The module might not run on the machine doing the testi
ng\, it might have third-party dependencies\, etc. CPANTS can only gather
data and Kwalitee by looking at files\, source code etc. Thus results shou
ld not be taken all to seriously.\n\nThe slides of my talk will be availab
le here:\nhttp://domm.zsi.at/talks/2005_braga_cpants

ered\, not created\, as it has been around for much longer. This\ntrip thr

talk.\nAlthough\, given the rise in interest in global conspiracy theorie
s as\nexpounded (wrongly\, in most cases) by Dan Brown and his DaVinci Cod
e\,\nmost of this can be explained away using perl. Perhaps. (This talk is
an\nextension/reworking/redoing of the one I never gave at YAPC last year
\,\ndue to being elsewhere. That one was Perl for Fun and Prophecy\, IIRC.
)\n\nExtensive use of slides with pretty pictures\, scripted and ad-lib ga

to this area\nand showing how using a different internal representation fo

ly applicable. I\nwill also show how reducing expressions to a representa
tion using basis\nfunction might provide a way of demonstrating the equiva
lence of two\nexpressions\, something I'm currently working on.\n\nNote th
at some of this was covered in an article I wrote for "The Perl\nJournal"
in February 2005.\n\nMAIN POINTS\n* Why analytical manipulation instead of
numerical manipulation might be\nuseful\n* Forming an internal representa
tion (in this case\, a non-strict binary\ntree)\n* Introducing Math::Calcu
lus::Expression\n* How the internal representation makes manipulation easy
\n* Example of subclassing Math::Calculus::Expression to do various bits o
f\nmanipulation\n* Testing expression equivalence by looking to representa

DESCRIPTION:This is a tutorial on how make Perl run faster\, without having
to use C or XS. In it you will learn ways I've found to make your trouble
some slow scripts go faster\, and how you can try to avoid some problems i
n the first place.\n\nThe tutorial starts with ways to cheat and duck the
whole optimising problem\, as that's usually a much better solution. I pre
sent a systematic approach to optimising in general\, and show the Perl to
ols available to help you carry it out. By explaining why the cause of slo

With a\nsimple patch to Apache\, mod_perl can be used to serve UDP based p

d for serving DNS. However BIND is not\n very modular\, and is quite res
trictive about the architectures one can\n choose when serving DNS. As w
ell\, it would be nice to be able to modify\n DNS responses based on arbi
trary characteristics\, ideally using a\n scripting language like perl.
By making Apache serve UDP\, and then\n attaching that to a DNS server wr
itten in perl\, all the advantages of\n the Apache and mod_perl platform
can be brought to DNS.\n\nMaking it Work\n A detailed explanation of how
to work with UDP based protocols from within\n mod_perl is given. Integr
ation with Net::DNS is shown\, as well as\n an example of proxying DNS tr
affic.\n\nWhat's it Good For?\n Some examples of useful behaviour from a
DNS server integrated into Apache\n are given. Including better load bal
ancing based on DNS\, web service based\n control of DNS\, DNS proxying\,
and serving DNS from non zone file sources.\nPerformance\n A comparison
is made between mod_perl based DNS implementations\, pure perl\n implemen
tations of DNS (such as Net::DNS::Nameserver) and C based\n implementatio

DESCRIPTION:WSDL (web service description language) documents contain struc
tured descriptions of web services. For the developer of the client softwa
re they are useful because they among other things contain information abo
ut parameters and return values of the service's messages. Due to their ri
gid structure it is even possible to automatically generate client stubs i
ncluding classes representing complex types used for parameters and return
values. The apache axis project provides the means to do this for Java an
d C++.\n\nSince perl is a dynamically typed language\, SOAP-based communic
ation between web services written in perl and perl clients gets along nic
ely without a structured description of the service\, provided the client
programmers knows\, which types to pass to and receive from the service's
messages. Generating a client stub is not really necessary\, since SOAP an
d escecially SOAP::Lite go a very long way in handling the messy details.\
n\nBut what if the client of the web service is written in a statically ty
ped language lika Java? Then of course it is still possible to get along w
ithout a WSDL\, but if the developer want to use axis\, having a WSDL make
s it a lot easier to write the client. Here the advantage of dynamic typin
g in perl gets somewhat in the way since it is very hard or even impossibl
e to extract information from perl code about the types or even the number
of parameters and return values of methods used in a web service server (
assuming one has access to that perl code at all).\n\nSo the idea of Pod::
WSDL is to put the necessary information in the pod preceding a subroutine
\, like\n\n package My::Service\;\n\n =begin WSDL\n\n _IN foo $String T
he foo for mySub\n _RETURN @My::Bar The array of My::Bars\, mySub returns
\n\n =end WSDL\n\n sub mySub {\n my $foo = shift\;\n # do some
thing with foo\, return array of My::Bar\n }\n\nWith something like \n\n
my $pod = new Pod::WSDL('package' => 'My::Service'\, \n targetNS => 'h
ttp://localhost/My/Service'\,\n pretty => 1)\;\n\n print $pod->WSDL\;\
n\nPod::WSDL will parse the pod\, find the subroutine name and generate th
e WSDL code for it:\n\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n\nIf it finds co
mplex types that are not in the standard repertoire of SOAP encoding - for
instance a My::Bar - Pod::WSDL will look for the My::Bar module and gener
ate a type description even for this (using pod again here) which is then
included into the WSDL.\n\nPod::WSDL combines a simple OO interface with t
he means provided by perl standard documentation. The overhead of having t
o specify parameters and return values separately in pod is balanced by ea
se of use and predictability of the outcome.\n\n\nREFERENCES\n\n* Axis: ht

DESCRIPTION:When debugging a problem in an application\, people generally r
esort to scattered print's throughout the code.\nThose ad-hoc print's (or
even home grown logging systems) sometimes do the trick\, but they are not
scalable\, configurable or in any way manageable for large\, complex proj
ects.\nI will talk about how to use logging modules to accomplish easier d
ebugging\, in particular using Log::Log4perl.\nLog4perl is the Perl implem
entation of the log4j(ava)\, a logging infrastructure that is really well
thought out\, in use for years with numerous projects\, and available for
the major languages.\n\nLog::Log4perl addresses the shortcomings of typica
l ad-hoc or homegrown logging systems by providing mechanisms to control t
he amount of data being logged and where it ends up at:\nLevels: allow you
to specify the priority of log messages. Low-priority messages are suppre
ssed when the configuration allows only higher priority messages.\nCategor
ies: define which parts of the system will have logging enabled. Category
inheritance allows to elegantly reuse and override previously defined sett
ings on different parts of the category hierarchy.\nAppenders: allow to ch
oose which output devices the log data is being output to.\n\nOn top of th
at\, Log4perl completely differentiates the logging code from the logging
configuration. If you want to add the ability to send an email or write to
system messages each time a critical error happens\, you only have to add
that to the configuration (provided you already have the logging code on
place of course).\nIf you are having problems with some module\, you can t
urn full debug on for it (using only the configuration files)\, while leav
ing the rest of the program with the default log level. Later you can rest
ore the default behavior.\n\nOther logging systems exist for Perl\, but no
ne that I know of has such a powerful API\, but easy to use nonetheless\,
and available for other languages.\n\n\nThe layout for a 40 min. talk woul

DESCRIPTION:People don't talk about Perl as much these days\, even on some
popular Perl mailing lists.\nThere don't seem to be as many Perl jobs adve
rtised and many programmers who\nused to write in Perl have taken jobs in
other disciplines.\n\nAre we hearing less about Perl because it's less pop
ular than before? Or is it\njust that nobody needs to mention it because
it's everywhere? Or are people less\ninterested in languages and more inte
rested in end results?

DESCRIPTION:www.template-toolkit.org says "The Template Toolkit is a fast\,
powerful and\nextensible template processing system. It is ideally suited
to the production\nand maintenance of web content and other dynamic docum
ent systems."\n\nTemplate Toolkit is an excellent system for web content\,
but it is also really\nuseful for many other tasks.\n\nIf you've thought
about using the m4 macro language to help manage your system\nconfiguratio
n files\, but you didn't like it\, you should try Template Toolkit.\nIf yo
u need to run a mail merge but you hate Windoze and/or Word\, you should t
ry\nTemplate Toolkit. If you're being forced to use Java and your IDE won
't write\nat least half your code\, you should try Template Toolkit. Or i
n Perl\, if h2xs\nand ModuleMaker don't do it for you\, you should try Tem
plate Toolkit.\n\nThis talk will explain how to use Template Toolkit in th
e above situations.

DESCRIPTION:Just as we were all beginning to lose hope in Perl6\, Autrijus
Tang released\na working implementation of an ever-growing Perl6 subset ca
lled Pugs\, written in\na purely functional language called Haskell. A lo
t of Perl people are now\ninterested in Haskell\, and a lot of people who
are interested in Haskell are\nconfused or frightened by "Monads". But Mo
nads aren't scary or even\ncomplicated.\n\nIn this talk Marty will briefly
explain what a monad is\, why they are used in\nHaskell\, and what they w
ould look like in Perl. As a side-effect (not that we\nwant any of those)
you should be able to understand the Main module of Pugs\nafter listening
.

DESCRIPTION:If you write Perl applications for the web\, you need to know a
bout Maypole.
\n\nMaypole is a framework which makes your job really\, really easy.
So easy\, in
fact\, that we're going to build two applications - one simple\, and on
e much more complex - live on stage in the course of this tutorial.\n\nAt
the same time\, we'll also be looking at an overview of how Maypole operat
es\, the various
\ntechnologies you need to know to make the best of it\, and the
current state of
\nMaypole best practices.

DESCRIPTION:Catalyst is a new MVC framework for Perl. It has been under rap
id development\, but the core API is now stable\, and a growing number of
projects use it. Catalyst borrows from other frameworks\, such as Ruby on
Rails and Apache Struts\, but its main goal is to be a flexible\, powerful
\, and fast framework for developing any type of web project in Perl. \n\n
In this introduction we will go through the most important features of Cat
alyst\, then proceed to make a simple application.

DESCRIPTION:As a part of the development strategy Module::Build has been ch
osen as the preferred build\, test and deployment system by the speaker.\n
\nHaving used Module::Build for a few CPAN modules and finding out how eas
y it was to extend - experiments where begun to see how well it scaled and
the experiment has been nothing but a success.\n\nModule::Build lets you
tweak where it is necessary without having to send patches to its author.\
n\nModule::Build is now used as Build\, Test\, Configuration and Deploymen
t system for everything from module size and up.\n\nThe presentation will
go over the general use of Module::Build and how to extendit with practica
l and real-life examples taken from current project from the \nspeakers po
rtfolio.\n\n- Extending Module::Build being the the standard\n - subcla
ssing\n - overloading\n\n- Influencing build proces behaviour\n - ar
guments and omnipresence\n\n- A few hacks and other small things\n\nThe pr
esentation will not be a walk through of the Module::Build source\, since
the speaker is not its author\, but will be an introduction to use of Modu
le::Build and extending Module::Build still using the standard Module::Bui
ld.
