Well, we found out in a roundabout way (Nat's report of Day 1.2 of UoP, to be printed tomorrow) that Larry Wall's keynote from the Atlanta Linux Showcase is available from Dr. Dobb's TechNetCast. From the site: By Larry Wall, creator of Perl. As Perl enters a self-induced mid-life crisis, its incomparable creator looks back at the origins of the language and culture and identifies strategies that will keep Perl growing and evolving for years to come. Includes a review of Perl 6.

I haven't heard it yet, I'll listen tomorrow morning. Hockey and Presidential Debates call for my attention this evening. But I've downloaded the MP3 so I am ready to go.

Update: 10/18 11:53 AM by P : Check out a transcription of the talk or Larry's slides for the talk, "Camel Lot 6", while you're at it.
