Migrating an Enterprise across 14 Perl Releases

Steffen Mueller will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:

Booking.com is the world’s leading online travel agent for hotel reservations. It is a wildly successful enterprise that was built with Perl at its heart. The company’s IT team runs millions of lines of Perl code on thousands of servers.

In this presentation, we will outline how we migrate(d) one of the world’s biggest users of Perl across 14 stable releases of Perl from 5.8.5 to 5.14.2, why we did that, what bit us, and what we learned from it.
