You're at the site for the Washington D.C. area Perl Mongers. We get together and talk about perl, teach one another new tricks of the trade and advocate the language wherever possible. Forays into other open-source software & hardware have been known to happen. Have ideas for the web site? Feel free to create a wiki page for your content. :)
Meetings
Our meetings go down on the first Tuesday of every month from about 7pm-9pm in Washington, DC. When meetings don't happen on the first Tuesday of the month, we are notified on the mailing list, and this site and meetup.com is updated.
Join our DC Perl Mongers Meetup Group, subscribe to the Calendar, and join our mailing list (see bottom of page)!

- This talk by Plicease will be several small vignettes on testing. I will be drawing from my experience from adopting and writing a number of niche testing modules on CPAN. In my day job, which is keeping dev, test and production clusters running smoothly for developers and scientists, I’ve used these tools to improve confidence in the software that we deploy. If there is time I will also touch on Test::Stream which is the next generation testing framework on the horizon for Perl.
