It's too late anyway but I think several talks on the same subject
would have been a bit too much.
But having one session for looking at the topic from various points

Xavier and Jeremiah also expressed their interest).

If you mean "testing" in the context of packaging Perl modules for
Linux dists there are a few aspects that should fit into this session
