You can find more information on the speaker's site:

I'll cover the compiled code side of Perl 5's VM. Attendees will learn what perl 5 compiles into, how to navigate it, and a bit on how to manipulate it.

This is perquisite information for people intending to write macros, code analysis tools, change fundamental operations in perl, or anything that deals directly with perl's compiled form.

There will be practical examples and cake.
