Congratulations.  And it looks like a very good schedule.

Don't you want to aim a little higher?  ;-)

Fell free to take anything that you think might be useful from any of my
talks (http://www.pjcj.net/yapc/), and I'm happy to (try to) answer any
questions you might have.

One thing that might qualify as a coverage trick could be the use of
"cover -test" which is probably all that many people will ever want to
use (initially at least) and which most people seem not to have heard
of.

The other thing that's interesting is that the uncoverable stuff is
getting closer to being useful, but it's probably not worth setting
people up for disappointment yet.
