The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

* new pointcuts: execution, cflowbelow, within, advice, calledby

* a debug flag to print out subs that were matched on match_define

* warnings when over 1000 methods wrapped

* bring back Marcel's tracing aspect and example, class invariants
  example, cookbook

* need a way to match subs with an attribute, attributes::get()
  will not work for some reason

* isa() support for method pointcuts as Gaal Yahas suggested: match
  methods on class hierarchies without callbacks

* add whatever constructs required for mocking packages, objects,
  builtins

* need a way to match subs that have not been imported in to a package

* use Scalar-Footnote for adding aspect state to objects, e.g. in
  Listenable. Problem is it is still in developer release state

* Listenable: when listeners go out of scope, they should be removed from
  listenables

* Listenable: should overload some operator on listenables so that it is 
  easier to add/remove listeners

IDEAS

* design aspects: DBC, threading, GOF patterns

* middleware aspects: security, load balancing, timeout/retry, distribution

* Perl aspects: add use strict/warning/Carp to all matched packages

* Perl join points: phasic- BEGIN/INIT/CHECK/END 

* investigate alternate strategy for weaving in Perl, using the B::* way,
  just like AspectJ

* interface with existing Perl modules for logging, tracing, param
  checking, generally all things that are AOPish on CPAN. One should
  be able to use it all through one consistent interface

* UnderscoreContext aspect: subs that match will, if called with no
  parameters, get $_, and if in void context, return value will set $_.
  Allows you to use your subs like builtins, that fall back on $_. So if
  we have a sub:

     sub replace_foo { my $in = shift; $in =~ s/foo/bar; $in }

  Then both calls would be equivalent:

     $_ = replace_foo($_);
     replace_foo();

* a generic FriendParamAppender aspect, that adds to a param list
  for affected methods, any object the method requires. Heuristics
  are applied to find the friend: maybe it is available in the call
  flow? Perhaps someone in the call flow has an accessor that can
  get it? Maybe a lexical in some sub in the call flow has it? The
  point is to cover all cases where we pass objects around, so that
  we don't have to.

* support more pulling (vs. pushing) of aspects into packages:
  attributes, package specific join points
 
* debugger support: break on pointcut

* allow finer control of advice execution order
