The London Perl Workshop is a free one-day conference in central
London, UK. LPW is the UK's Premier Perl Event and so is also
known as the United Kingdom Perl Workshop (UKPW). In 2012</p>

background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">HOW CAN I ATTEND, OR
PRESENT A TALK?<br>
If you would like to come then please log in on the site and click
that you will attend, this is an important step for us and our
sponsors so we can judge numbers for the events and activities. If
you are not already registered with Act you can do so on this
site, it is free and easy to do. If you have attended a Perl event
recently, with the exception of YAPC::NA::2012 who maintain their
own database, you will probably already have a login with Act,
otherwise you will need to create a new user first. You can do
this by using the links in the navigation menu on the website
which will soon be live on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.londonperlworkshop.org.uk">http://www.londonperlworkshop.org.uk</a>.</p>

The theme for the London Perl Workshop will be 25 Years of Perl,
and will focus on the manner in which Perl is used in the
commercial world and the strength of Perl for development in an
enterprise environment; we would also like to see talks on the
usage of Perl in the past 25 years and the evolution of the
environment. You can use any aspect of Perl such as Camelia,
Rakudo, Raptor, etc. Speakers are invited to talk on any subject
that relates to this theme, though we will also accept talks on
other subjects.</p>

This year we hope to have access to three workshop rooms and would
like to run as many workshops as possible to introduce new users
to the world of Perl and to refresh the skills of those wishing to
engage with the latest developments in the Perl world. If you wish
to submit a workshop please use the same submission form as the
talks, please note that workshops will typically be 60, 120 or 240
minutes in length.</p>

Each year we are required to fund the conference rooms, lecture
theatres and workshop rooms, as well as arrange and cover the
costs for many other activities normally associated with the
London Perl Workshop such as the famous sponsored beer after the
conference. We will once again be hosted by the Department of
Electronic, Communication and Software Engineering who have
secured us a generous discount on the normal university room rates
and who will hopefully play a greater part in the event this year
with activities that coincide with the workshop.</p>
