Having a CD of the current confenerence is great. Having a CD of the whole conference series is greater. Especially with cross references between the talks. Why not include previous years?

PerlPointCD supports archives by treating a type level directory "Archive" special. It is handled as of a special type "archive", holding directories of type "workshop"2. Every workshop level directory is the root of a usual directory structure as known for the current conference, containing type, author and talk directories.

Keep cool. Here's a picture.

Please note the green levels. Their substructures are absolutely equal. And this means that after having the CD sources of one year, this year can be archived by


2: This could read "conference", of course. But you know, this all started with the German Perl Workshop CDs ... And by the way, that's the reason to name this directory "Archive", not "Archives". It is wonderfully multilingual in this context.
