petdance writes "This month's Chicago Perl Mongers meeting, September 7 at 7 p.m. will be a get-your-hands-dirty test-suite workshop that we call 'Monster Perl Garage,' or 'This Old Module.' We'll be the very first Perl Mongers group to overhaul a module's test suite for the Phalanx Project, which was started to improve the testing and quality of commonly used Perl modules in anticipation of Perl 5.10 and Perl 6.
Put on your overalls and get ready to dive under the hood of HTML::Tree by Sean Burke. The Chicago Monster Mongers team will reengineer the test suite for maximum performance and ride the finished product around the parking lot. You'll learn how to engineer high-octane tests for your own code and be equipped to help CPAN move into the next generation of Perl. All work will be done on the big screen, but if you have a Wi-Fi laptop in your toolbox, bring it along and join in the fun.
When our hands are clean, we'll post how we did it to encourage other Perl Mongers groups to do the same."

I would love it if you did. There's information at the main Phalanx site at http://qa.perl.org/phalanx/, as well as working information at http://phalanx.kwiki.org/.Feel free to add your PM to the front page, as a marker, and add updates as they happen. Why should we let London.pm have all the fun of doing cool stuff for Perl?
