Keynote - Larry Wall
I'm waiting with anticipation.
Wow - half an hour late. I've seen larry wandering around, so it's not him...
Oookay. Looks like this will be a community-bulidy speech. It is. He's talking about communities and how they work out, but not really about perl.
Tester's Toolkit
Thus far he's only telling us things we know...
an interesting note - instead of writing some lwp-based bot to test things, lets try Apache::Test. Sounds good. ooo. Test::WWW::Mechanize looks better yet.
There are apparently things that check pod the way test.whatever does automatically
Using Apache Test
This is a more in-depth look at this cool webpage testing stuff. It looks a little scary though - it creates all kinds of once-off apache environments, and getting the whole framework in there might be tough.
You can though add "extra.conf" info to flesh out the environment, which sounds good.
the client side tests are where the details live, and where you actually call all the ok's isa's etc.
auth_cookie stuff
This is also not too new - just some nice modules for doing cookie-based auth, which we already do.
Abstracting Apache2's config
This sounded good, but what the heck are we going to do with this? Looks like a lot of sublcasses and baggage
A few cool things about mod_perl 2.0
A few new directives, but the classes are much much different.
coming from mod_perl 1.0, it's gonna be quite a migration.
One neat thing is the ability to create custom httpd.conf directives.
