The Oslo Perl Mongers are hosting [0]a workshop for quality assurance
(QA) from April 5-7 ("most likely", as the wiki says right now). It
doesn't necessarily mean "Perl QA", either. They are inviting QA people
from any language.
"Nothing has been decided", but this is a true workshop. They are
inviting people who want to work on QA things, and taking suggestions for
people they should invite. They are also trying to sponsor the travel
costs for people. Already committed are some of the people you would
expect: Adam Kennedy, Ricardo Signes, Andy Armstrong, Michael Schwern,
Adrian Howard, among others. Many others have expressed interest but have
not committed.

I hope I'm not stealing [0]AndyA's thunder, but [1]this just went by on
p5p and I'm excited!
From: Andy Armstrong <[email protected]>
I now have a dtraced bleadperl which runs no slower than the clean
version:
orig | dtrace | ratio
====================================
2.51239896 | 2.47904992 | 0.98672622
2.50696611 | 2.46995783 | 0.98523782
2.52996778 | 2.47554016 | 0.97848683
2.50457382 | 2.47788405 | 0.98934359
2.50622296 | 2.46893001 | 0.98511986
In fact in those tests the dtraced version is running marginally
faster. I'm putting that down to a happy code alignment or somesuch.
[2]dtrace is Sun's new thing to allow you to do live tracing of function
calls across the entire operating system without having to compile
without any special flags and without a performance hit when you're not
actively doing a trace. It's been ported to FreeBSD and OS X 10.5.
Unfortunately there's been trouble getting Perl to work with dtrace at
the Perl function call level (rather than at the internal C opcode level)
without a performance hit. Someone else can answer why, but it appears
Andy has solved that problem! They're already discussing the possibility
of, if dtrace is available, enabling it by default.
For those who can't wait for bleadperl Andy has [3]Devel::DTrace
available on CPAN, though it does have a performance hit.
