I gave the talk at OSSBarcamp in Dublin last weekend and it went well. My sincere thanks to everyone who contributed.
The slides are available at: http://www.slideshare.net/Tim.Bunce/perl-myths-200909 The graphs and stats charting the continuing growth of perl and the perl community were surprising (and delighting) even to me. The presentation was even featured on the slideshare.net home page for a while. Yeah! I'll be giving the talk again at HighLoad++ in Moscow in a couple of weeks time, and possibly again at IPW09 in Pisa later in October (though it's not been scheduled yet). So I'd be grateful for any feedback on the talk. Corrections, improvements, extra data etc. Thanks again! Tim. p.s. I've already fixed the suprious reference to CPANTS.
