Distributing a module on CPAN or via
internal corporate channels is a tedious process. There is boilerplate
documentation and code, the release process, remembering to increment
version number, etc. Bill Odom will go over Dist::Zilla and discuss
how to use it to improve this process.

in the
Perl community, and was president of The

to XSLT, but keeps finding his way back
to
Perl.
