Booking.com, one of the most influential Perl shops around today, has decided to sponsor YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2009. They will also be giving a talk on 9/10 about what they do and how they use Perl. If you're interested in working with a major Perl shop abroad, you might want to check them out.

Also, ContentsOne, who I met at LLTV, has graciously offered to sponsor us as well. They might give you non-Perl novelties, but don't be rude ;)
