Perl Guy Larry Wall will, once again, speak at Yet Another Perl Conference North America 2001, to be held June 13-15 at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. The topic of Wall's talk is the matter of much speculation; I'm personally hoping for an exposition of Norton Juster's The Phanton Tollbooth.
Note also that the deadline for submitting papers is coming up, on May 1.
Paper abstracts are still due for YAPC::Europe 2001 (to be held August 2-4 at Hogeschool Holland, Amsterdam, Netherlands) on June 1.
The conference theme will be Security, so a portion of the the talks will be about that subject in some way. So if you have some knowledge of Perl related security issues, or use Perl in security related areas, you're more then welcome to share this with fellow Perl users at the conference.
The YAPC::America::North CFP doesn't have a stated theme:
* No, not Python.All topics are welcome.

What about pyperl?
Believe it or not, we are using this in backend import scripts for (insert secret ActiveState handshake here). Python's database modules weren't up to the task. I was thinking that would make a nice lightning talk at least.
