CALL FOR PAPERS -> SUBMIT A TALK!

The Call for Papers is still open and IPW needs you: submit you talks!!!

This year's conference theme is Perl Jubilee, to celebrate 25 years of the language. The theme is however loose, and talks not related to it are well accepted (and we'd also like to accept a few of not so "perlish" ones).

Please submit your proposals here:
