I attended the Lightning Talks session of OSCON 2006 (in July). My
memory is a little fuzzy...

A well-known Perl guru (I think it might have been Peter Scott) did a
brief presentation encouraging folks to describe of Perl as a
programming language rather than a scripting language. He used a whole
slew of examples to show why (closures, methods, etc).

Now, months later, I'm interested in getting a copy of that
presentation. I don't suppose anybody here would know where I might
get it?

Sorry, no, it wasn't me. I believe you want Uri Guttman.
