Mail::Box (30 minutes)

A new talk on the Mail::Box module, explaining the current (release 1) and the next (release 2) versions of the package. Meanwhile, the lesser known technique of autoloading of data (in addition for the well known autoloading of functionality) is explained.

A short talk about e-mail related modules in Perl. Of course, Mail::Box had a central role in this. The Paper. The slides of that talk do not really add to the content of the paper, so are not on display.

The Mail::Box module explained. The slides of the tutorial are without comments, but usually understandable on their own.

How implementing a small feature in a real module explodes in size and complexity if you want to do it right. The slides of this talk speak for themselves.

User::Identity and Mail::Identity (45 minutes)

The new User::Identity module tries to simplify user data configuation. It provides a very general framework to collect useful data on humans. The slides of the talk.

Hash::Case (10 minutes lightning talk)

A case-insensitive hash can simplify your work on platforms --or with applications-- which do not distinguish between lower and upper case characters. The module is explained in a few slides used in this talk.

MIME Headers (15 minutes lightning talk)

Parsing and constructing MIME headers is much harder than it looks when you include non-ascii character sets. This lightning talk explains how Mail::Box hides all the complications for the user. See the slides.
