+      <p><i>by Justin Wheeler.</i>In his own words, this talk will cover the virtues
+      of Perl: CPAN, Moose, CPAN, Catalyst, CPAN, DBIx::Class, CPAN,
+      TMTOWTDI, and did I mention CPAN?</p>
+   </short>
+   <abstract>
+      <p>If you've never used Perl before, don't be scared away by the
+      jargon---the talk should be accessible to all CS students, and even if
+      you find it hard to follow, we will be serving pizza!      </p>
