And the talk is accepted in the meantime - thanks for taking this
initiative!

It's too late anyway but I think several talks on the same subject
would have been a bit too much.
But having one session for looking at the topic from various points
of view sounds really interesting!

Yup, and I know that Tincho will be there too (and from older mails
Xavier and Jeremiah also expressed their interest).

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 :)
