The CPAN 1.5
By:

Login.
Perl 5.10 is coming, and as well as language changes, the CPAN and the module toolchain will be going through a few upgrades as well.
After a year spent bullying concensus on a number of these improvements, Adam will cover the upgrades to CPAN that are already being deployed, those that will arrive with the release of Perl 5.10.0, and the final set of changes to be released with the "stable" Perl 5.10.1.
A must for current or future CPAN authors, and an interesting talk for anyone interested in the future of the CPAN or the operation of large source repositories.
