+The Enlightened Perl Extended Core
+==================================
+
+The Goal of the EPO-EC working group is to produce a List of modules that are considered "Best of Breed" modules for domains typically encountered by a large Perl Enterprise or Consulting business. This list will be package into a standard distribution and work will be made to integrate this distribution with the standard installation channels for popular Operating System vendors.
+
+The chairman of the working group Chris Prather gave an [introduction][1] to the EPO Extended Core project at YAPC::NA 2009 in Pittsburgh. This talk followed Matt Trout's [Catching an STD][2] which provided a good introduction to the reasons for starting such a project.
