I wonder what interesting stuff might actually happen in Perrin's plotline in ToM. The ToM blurb mentions: "Perrin Aybara is now hunted by specters from his past: Whitecloaks, a slayer of wolves, and the responsibilities of leadership. All the while, an unseen foe is slowly pulling a noose tight around his neck. To prevail, he must seek answers in Tel’aran’rhiod and find a way - at long last - to master the wolf within him or lose himself to it forever."
According to the WoT-Timeline, the last time we directly saw Perrin was on day 760 (which pretty much fits with BS' comment that Perrin's plotline is ca. one month behind Rand's). That was the chapter, where Perrin enters the Wolf Dream again, while Faile & Co. have their "funeral" for the dead Shaido. Then on day 784, Rand sees Perrin walking alongside Galad. Apparently nothing really exciting happened, except that both groups met. On day 801 Rand tells Nynaeve that Perrin still camps near the statue at the Jehanna Road. The same day Cadsuane & Co. fetch Tam (and maybe other important nobles, like Morgase, Alliandre or Berelain?) from this camp. Tam doesn't indicate any really dire problems among Perrin's camp, he seems rather content. Tam just hints at an annoying conflict with the Whitecloaks and Morgase.
Since BS said that we will see what happened to Perrin in the last month, can we assume from this that the main part of Perrin's plotline in ToM will play in TAR? Besides this there just might be shown a few problems leading all the refugees onwards, probably discussions with Faile & the Whitecloaks and the conflict the unseen foe (likely a Forsaken)? On the other hand, BS mentioned several times on Twitter that he named people with a long bow. Does this indicate that Perrin's group has to fight someone during the last month (IIRC, there were still Shaido around)?
In any case, Perrin has now on day 801 (Rand was on Dragonmount on day 802) contact with Rand's group. Therefore, even if his Asha'man died before or still can't Travel, it stands to reason that Perrin should be able now to quickly bring the refugees to Caemlyn or Cairhien & report to Rand. So, what could be the climax in Perrin's plotline? A final confrontation with a Forsaken and/or Slayer, after Tam left the camp, and then Perrin & Co. reaching a relatively safe haven like Caemlyn with the help from Rand's group at the end of ToM?

Perhaps the long bows are put to use after the point we left off in TGS. *NM*

One thing also, is that Rand told Nynaeve that Perrin isn't so peaceful anymore
