Looks like the YouTube version of my YAPC presentation is posted. Now that I've had the chance to review myself, I feel a bit better about the presentation over all. I was a bit let down when I finished it since I was a bit tired and found presenting basically right at the end of the conference a bit stressful. However dispite the first few minutes being a bit slow (note to self, never again change the first group of slides 15 minutes before getting on stage) I do think I basically covered the material I orginally set out to do.
The presentation is a bit of a mix on my philosophy of teaching, my thoughts on what newcomers to Perl should be taught if we want them to become good members of our community and the lessons I personally learned from that experience.
I've upload the presentation to slideshare, although since its pretty image heavy I don't imagine it is stand alone useful. I'm posting it in case anyone wanted to grab bits for their own use.
Here's also a list of links mentioned in the presentation (listed in order of notice)

Thanks to all the attendees, your great questions and thanks again to the people who put together such an amazing conference!
