The talks include a live Perl testing demonstration (brian will provide the broken code so you don't have to), a survey of the test modules available for Perl, and raffle for a couple of free copies of "Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook", the new testing book from O'Reilly Media by chromatic and Ian Langworth.
