DESCRIPTION:Usenet has a bad reputation for being full of spam and idiots\,
but this is no longer really justified. Most of the spam is dealt with b
y automatic cancelbots and the current crop of idiots don't know about it
because as far as they're concerned\, if it isn't Teh Web then it doesn't
exist. So the only thing that sucks about Usenet these days is the dreadf
ul client software. With a good client\, Usenet becomes a great place to
discuss any topic and make friends.\n\nThat's why I wrote news2mail and it
s companion mail2news. They are perl scripts which speak sufficient subse
ts of NNTP and SMTP to make Usenet available in your mail client and enabl
e posting to Usenet as if it were a mailing list. You can then use mutt\,
the One True Email Client\, to read and write Usenet. Hooray.

DESCRIPTION:The Lightning Talks Schedule:\n\nhttp://www.justanotherperlhack
er.org/lightning/2007yapceu.shtml\n\n\nWhy Would You Want to do a Lightnin
g Talk?\n\nMaybe you've never given a talk before\, and you'd like to star
t small. For a Lightning Talk\, you don't need to make slides\, and if you
do decide to make slides\, you only need to make three.\n\nMaybe you're n
ervous and you're afraid you'll mess up. It's a lot easier to plan and del
iver a five minute talk than it is to deliver a long talk. And if you do m
ess up\, at least the painful part will be over quickly.\n\nMaybe you don'
t have much to say. Maybe you just want to ask a question\, or invite peop
le to help you with your project\, or boast about something you did\, or t
ell a short cautionary story. These things are all interesting and worth t
alking about\, but there might not be enough to say about them to fill up
thirty minutes.\n\nMaybe you have a lot of things to say\, and you're alre
ady going to give a long talk on one of them\, and you don't want to hog t
he spotlight. There's nothing wrong with giving several Lightning Talks. H
ey\, they're only five minutes.\n\nOn the other side\, people might want t
o come to a lightning talk when they wouldn't come to a long talk on the s
ame subject. The risk for the attendees is smaller: If the talk turns out
to be dull\, or if the person giving the talk turns out to be a really bad
speaker\, well\, at least it's over in five minutes. With lightning talks
\, you're never stuck in some boring lecture for forty-five minutes.\n\nSt
ill having trouble picking a topic\, here are some suggestions:\n\n 1. W
hy my favorite module is X.\n 2. I want to do cool project X. Does anyon
e want to help?\n 3. Successful Project: I did project X. It was a succe
ss. Here's how you could benefit.\n 4. Failed Project: I did project X.
It was a failure\, and here's why.\n 5. Heresy: People always say X\, bu
t they're wrong. Here's why.\n 6. You All Suck: Here's what is wrong wit
h the our community.\n 7. Call to Action: Let's all do more of X / less
of X.\n 8. Wouldn't it be cool if X?\n 9. Someone needs to do X.\n 10
. Wish List\n 11. Why X was a mistake.\n 12. Why X looks like a mistake\
, but isn't.\n 13. What it's like to do X.\n 14. Here's a useful techniq
ue that worked.\n 15. Here's a technique I thought would be useful but di
dn't work.\n 16. Why algorithm X sucks.\n 17. Comparison of algorithms X
and Y. \n\nOf course\, you could give the talk on anything you wanted\, w
hether or not it is on this list. If we get a full schedule of nothing but
five minutes of ranting and raving on each topic\, a good time will still
be had by most.

DESCRIPTION:This talk will discuss three new Perl modules:\n\n* DBIx::MySer
ver - server-side implementation of the MySQL protocol\;\n* DBIx::MyParse
- parse SQL statements by calling MySQL's own parser\;\n* DBIx::MyServerPP
- pure-perl SQL parser derived from MySQL's grammar and lexer\;\n\nUsing
those modules\, one can write servers speaking the MySQL protocol that acc
ept\, rewrite\, answer or forward SQL queries.\n\nA fully-functional scrip
t is presented that makes any Perl data structure or DBI data source avail
able to any MySQL client.\n\nThis way\, any data can be delivered directly
into any ODBC enabled application\, or linked into a running MySQL server
using the Federated database engine.

DESCRIPTION:Note: Originally this talk was to be "Multi-Language Test Suit
es". However\, those are now so easy to do that the could be covered in a
lightning talk. Instead\, they'll be mentioned briefly in this talk alon
g with:\n\n1. Why is TAP::Parser replacing Test::Harness in the core?\n2.
What does TAP::Parser look like internally?\n3. What else needs to be d
one?\n\nTAP::Parser gives you tons of nifty features that you never knew y
ou wanted until you saw them. Doing them with Test::Harness is almost imp
ossible and even the developers/maintainers of Test::Harness say this and
want it to be replaced.

DESCRIPTION:Perl modules are very well organized in CPAN: They can usually
be easily found and\, thanks to tools such as the CPAN shell\, they are ea
sy to install and update even by novice users. However\, when people start
using Perl systems (as opposed to using Perl for writing such systems)\,
asking them to take care of the dependencies or having them worry about di
fferent distribution architectures is a pain that should be spared from th
em.\nIn my talk\, I will describe how Debian (and other Free Software dist
ributions) addresses this problem by packaging a large subset of the CPAN
archive\, what is the task and scope of Debian pkg-perl team\, some of the
tools we use - and\, most importantly\, what is the best way for us to in
teract with you\, the upstream authors' community - regarding our bug trac
king systems\, regarding module building and dependencies information\, et
c.

DESCRIPTION:Perl 6 is a complex yet fully volunteer driven project. Buildin
g a programming\nlanguage from scratch requires a few highly advanced brai
ns\, and a way to\ninterconnect them. Communication and interaction across
the globe form an\ninteresting challenge\, but even without fancy video c
onferencing\, the internet\nprovides a great platform for collaboration. T
he Perl 6 project has several\ndiscussion mailing lists\, an IRC channel w
ith useful bots\, and a shared\ncommunity development server. Round tuits
are scarce\, so let's be ultimately\nlazy and use technology to save time!

DESCRIPTION:The talk will introduce "runpugs"\, the web terminal for Pugs t

n The main goal of "runpugs" is to make it as easy as possible for peop
le to try out Perl 6\, thus increasing the adoption and participation in t
he project. As such I think it fits well with the "social perl" topic.\n
The application is built around a generic (not Pugs-specific) web termin
al framework (Web::Terminal) consisting of a server back-end which manages
the terminal sessions and an API for use in a front-end script. \n The
talk will discuss the challenges (resource limitations\, speed\, ...) and
the architecture (sockets\, YAML\, Moose\, pty manipulation). I will pres
ent usage statistics and propose directions for further development.

feature set materializing and Moose gaining acceptance. \n\nMeta programm

h as object persistence\, dynamic code\, and establishing a common base cl
ass typically involve a degree of meta programming. This talk will try to
get you thinking of such problems from a meta object perspective.\n\nThis
talk is both a followup to the Moose introduction and a standalone discus
sion of meta programming. It will help you make better use of Moose's ful
l strength as a meta object protocol rather than just a cute class generat
ion syntax. However\, the focus is on the general approach as opposed to
the details of Moose\, making it useful regardless of whether you use Moos
e\, another toolkit\, or even another language.

chitecture\, we present the user with a number of runtime algorithmically
generated images\, highly variable in appearance.\n\nWe present the archit
ecture of the system\, explain how to use it on your site\, and introduce
to the generation of your own objects.\n\nWe then discuss the possible vul
nerabilities of the approach against image recognition algorithms and meas
ures to be taken against that in the plugins.\n\nWe finish with a few inte
resting points of today's Captchas in general.

DESCRIPTION:Perl is well known as a glue language\, integrating diverse lan
guages\, technologies and systems. I will talk about how Perl has contrib
uted 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 fo
r the bank's cash management applications. A couple of years ago a new ap
plication 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
bank's standard infrastructure comprising interfaces to 13 subsystems incl
uding databases\, webservers\, communications\, high availability\, monito
ring\, logging and archiving.\n\nI'll take a look at some of the problems
that were faced\, some of the solutions that were implemented and some of
the CPAN modules which came to the rescue.\n\nThis talk is aimed at a gene
ral audience and whilst there will be some technical detail\, a detailed k
nowledge of Perl will not be required. Neither will any banking knowledge
.\n\n\nShort biography: I am a software engineer currently enjoying living
and working in Zürich\, where my work includes the development\, integrat
ion and QA of a large web application used within a bank. I am the author
of the Devel::Cover and Gedcom CPAN modules.

DESCRIPTION:DBI and DBD::Oracle has been the standard Oracle access module
for the Perl for over 10 years. This tutorial covers the basics of DBD::Or
acle programming explaining how\; driver\, database and statement handles
are defined\, how to connect to an Oracle DBMS\, binding with both simple
and complex placeholders\, and fetching data.\n\nIt also introduces advanc
ed topics such as PL/SLQ Functions and Large Objects (CLOBS and BLOBS). \n
\nAll concepts are demonstrated using simple code examples that run on a
default Oracle 10XE installation.

DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, Perl has a very limited way of expressing that
something is going wrong: either warn or die. Syslog\, as example\, has a
more fine-grained way to say how serious the problems are. In Log::Repor
t\, the programmer of a module only produces the message and an indication
about why the message is produced. Only on the level of the main program
\, the decision is made who to inform and how\, in which language and what
character-set.\n\nLog::Report integrates Locale::TextDomain and Log::Disp
atch syntax\, to get a more homogeneous cooperation of modules. PPI is us
ed to collect translatable strings.

DESCRIPTION:XML is ugly\, SOAP is a horror\, and if you use Perl you are on
your own! Using SOAP::Lite makes XML\nprocessing a manual effort\, forci
ng you in understanding the protocol details\, the name-spaces\, and all t
he hundreds of dirty exceptions and implementation differences.\n\nXML::Co
mpile::Schema let you produce correct XML messages directly from perl HASH
es (and vice versa). ::WSDL and ::SOAP bring a simplified procedural messa
ge exchange to Perl. No more manual XML!

DESCRIPTION:POE is a framework for cooperative\, event driven multitasking
in Perl.\n\nIt lends itself to a mulitude of different applications and pu
rposes including\, but not limited to:\n\n* networking servers and clients
\;\n* network monitoring\;\n* integration with existing event loops such a
s Glib\, Event\, Gtk\, Tk\, etc\;\n\nA hackathon would be an opportunity f
or POE developers to: gather\, discuss and exchange tips\, tricks and best
practises\; work on long delayed POE related modules\; provide advice and
support to newer and novice POE users.\n\nI unfortunately can't say at th
is point what kind of hacking will be done. I intend to poll Rocco Caputo
and the other POE developers regarding possible things to be done. Also pa
rticipents on the day would probably have their own ideas.\n\nRegarding th
e short introduction\, I intend to produce enough material to cover hopefu
lly a diverse audience\, which can be tailored on the day \ngiven the atte
nding persons.

DESCRIPTION:Perhaps you've inherited some old code\, and you'd like to put
it out of its misery. Maybe you're about to deploy a new system and you do
n't want everyone to make fun of you when hackers steal your granny's cred
it cards. Or maybe you just like breaking other people's code because you'
re a bitter curmudgeon who enjoys the challenge.\nFinding exploitable vuln
erabilities is more than reading through perlsec and turning on the taint
switch. This talk will take you through modern tools and techniques for fi
nding and making fun of vulnerabilities in other people's code\, as well a
s writing tests to prevent it from happening to you. Examples from CPAN a
nd sourceforge will chosen and eviscerated on stage to illustrate each poi
nt.

DESCRIPTION:Scaling the distribution of content to many users is mostly a w

from many users to a data warehouse has many challenges that have not bee
n adequately solved using commodity hardware and software. This talk will
show you some strategies for collecting data really fast (> 1000 entries p
er second) and how you can reuse some of the techniques and tools used to
serve data\, to collect it. Attention will be paid to the various event ba
sed frameworks and their performance\, working with database partitioning\
, and archiving your data so that it can be easily mined later.
