  Hi Neil, Good to see this. I started a project to do this, using graphviz etc sometime ago and it's now abandonware: https://sourceforge.net/projects/codewalker/ If there's anything useful/interesting in there, please purloin.. Best regards Hugh Barnard...
• Commented on Finding Unused Subroutines, but with PPI
  Thanks for this. I started a messy project for general discovery and graphing for legacy CGI projects which is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/codewalker/ Inspired by this and PPI in general, I'm thinking about taking another run at it. Thanks again, Hugh Barnard...

  Wanted to try it out, but when running it on one of my projects I get the following error: layout did not finish in time. This happened with -svg and -html.

  Whose time? I've got all the time in the world for it to generate. It's a project with a big dependency chain (https://github.com/maximos/maximus-web).

  Digging into it it seems Graph::Easy has a default timeout of 5 seconds. Perhaps allow setting a modified timeout with a -timeout flag? e.g. -timeout 60 for 60 seconds. You can change the timeout with $graph->timeout($val);

  I've modified mine to use a timeout of 1 …

  Did your graph every finish laying out? If a big enough timeout does produce results, I'll add a timeout option in the next release.

  I've released 0.06, which has a timeout option.

  Hello!

  My opinions:

  Venue: I have no particular preference.
  Dates: Autumn (October/November) is optimal in my opinion. I'd say weekdays, or maybe fri+sat if it's going to be across 2 days... but also full weekend or full weekdays would do
  Length: 2 days
  Socials: Since I said Autumn, pubs/dinner will be fine.
  Swag: I've got tons of Perl-related t-shirt, and I'm sure most of the others attendees are in the same situation. I wouldn't need another t-shirt or other swag at all. Maybe we can think of something not obvious, useful, and somewhat environmentall…
