Does anyone have a list of the modules that Damian mentioned/used in his
talk yesterday? I'd like to dig into them to understand what lies
beneath & maybe even use them. A quick search on Google did not reveal
anything.

Thanks,

Thanks John for the Toronto review.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

For those who haven't visited http://damian.conway.org/, the official
description is

  In 2003 Damian arrived at the YAPC::NA conference only to be 
  told that he had to give both keynotes, rather than just the 
  one he had prepared. 
  "Oh, and we need you to present the extra one this time tomorrow." 
  Ever wondered what you'd get if you locked Damian in a hotel room 
  for 24 hours with nothing but a perl interpreter, a deadline, 
  and a dozen PowerBars? 
  This talk reveals the ten terrifying answers. 

Tim Maher plugged SPUG edition (first PM rendition) as - 
  "We'll be privileged to be the 2nd group on the planet to hear
Damian's
   latest blockbuster talk, in the "Quantum Superpositions", "Life, the
   Universe, and Everything", and "Time::Space::Continuum" series. 
   As usual, this will be a meeting you won't want to miss!"

Toronto glossed this talk as 
  'a characteristic Damian "crazy talk"'
 and
 "This talk is one of Damian's "special" talks 
   -- hyperkinetic and humorous 
   while at the same time very technical and educational. "

Buffalo.PM called it (in Toronto)
  "the (semi) insane talk" 
  to distinguish it from "the (semi) serious talk" on Perl 6.

A KW.PM member reviewed the NY.pm showing of Small Miracles as

 "I was able to catch Damian's Small Miracles talk on Tuesday 
  in Manhattan(thanks to NY.PM). Its quite interesesting and 
  definitely very entertaining. It gives a good explaination 
  about what "Junctions" are among other things.

  It essentially covers 9-10 modules that he has written at some 
  point or the other. No overlap between his two YAPC talks 
  (other than the YAPC::Australia thing which is just a filler.)"


I hear from Merlyn that it includes IO::Prompt and progress bars
(probably Smart::Comments).
