It's too late anyway but I think several talks on the same subject would have been a bit too much.

Sure, and (despite the bad timing for your talk :)) I'm happy to share my experiences from the Debian Perl Group. > ps.

If you mean "testing" in the context of packaging Perl modules for Linux dists there are a few aspects that should fit into this session quite good :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ -- GPG Key IDs: 0x00F3CFE4, 0x8649AA06 : :' : Debian GNU/Linux user, admin, & developer - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' Member of VIBE!AT & SPI, fellow of Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Ben Weaver: Vapor
