<h2>ABOUT</h2>
<p>The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is modeled after the highly successful
Perl workshops held in Europe over the last several years. The day
is designed to provide you with a comfortable, exciting, and
enjoyable learning experience. The workshop is structured and well
organized, but the atmosphere is low key and engaging: the perfect
combination to open your mind and then cram it full of good stuff.</p>
<h2>LOCATION</h2>
<p>[http://pghpw.org/location.html]</p>
<p>The Workshop will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in the
University Center building. There is free, on-campus parking within
walking distance. The CMU campus is located in Oakland, part of
Pittsburgh's wonderful East End.</p>
<h2>REGISTRATION</h2>
<p>[http://pghpw.org/register.html]</p>
<p>Be sure to register during the "Early Bird" period in order to
reserve
your seat at $20 or less. Registrations are on a first-come,
first-serve basis. You can register online at the Pittsburgh Perl
Workshop website.</p>
<h2>CALL FOR PAPERS</h2>
<p>[http://pghpw.org/cfp.html]</p>
<p>The theme for this year's Pittsburgh Perl Workshop is "Perl at
Work." Perl is a workhorse. Every day, the language toils in
unnoticed corners of the world and does all manner of thankless,
hard labor in order to make our lives easier. Sessions at the
Workshop should reflect this gritty, hard-working side of Perl.</p>
<p>The organizers of the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop invite you to tell us
what "Perl at Work" means to you. If you have a hard-working CPAN
module, a sweat-inducing case study, a smarter way to get work done
with Perl, or anything at all to say about "Perl At Work," we want
to hear from you. See the URL above and submit a paper!</p>
<p>Call for Papers closes on Sunday, July 10, 2006.</p>
<h2>SPONSORSHIP</h2>
