I've uploaded the slides for the Perl and Excel talk that I did at YAPC::Eu.
There was a little time before the talk so as a diversion I asked people to run the following one-liner from the first slide:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install jmcnamara & _ x ord $ ;' | tail -1Try it! You'll need to have CPAN.pm configured and it will probably take a little while the first time it runs. The explanation is here.
I like it. What did you use to create the slides?

Pod!Like most hackers faced with a conference deadline I ignored the fact and instead sat down to write a pod2slide filter.
:-) The original program was a quick and dirty hack. I eventually rewrote it using Pod::Simple but the final results weren't much better. (I had initially looked at App::Slide but I didn't use it in the end).
At the same conference I saw Philippe Bruhat's excellent HTTP::Proxy presentation and he was using something similar except that he had syntax highlighting of the code sections which was a nice effect.

I'm just finishing off the docs and the examples. So it should be on CPAN in the next 1-2 days.And then some sleep.
;-) John.
