To suggest a talk, please use the web interface. All proposals can be sumbitted until the day before the workshop, but we can't gaurantee acceptance for those sent after October 3rd, 2012.

This year's theme for the workshop is Perl Jubilee, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the language. The topic is, however, just a loose guideline: any Perl-related topic will be fine. Some interesting topics could be:

• CPAN and related applications
• Web application frameworks (Mojolicious, Dancer, Catalyst, ...)
• Moose
• PSGI / Plack
• "Modern Perl"
• Applications of Rakudo Star
• APIs for cloud services (Amazon, Google, Rackspace, ...)
• DBIx::Class, other ORMs, NoSQL libraries, ...
• Functional programming

If you send a proposal, please fill in as much information as possible about yourself in your profile, after having registered.

As for past editions, an introductory course to Perl is already scheduled.
