Talk selection (Score:1)
I too was sort of disappointed when I saw the listed talks. Not so much with their quality, but with their quantity. There are a half dozen of the standard time-tested talks and only another half dozen newer and more exciting things. I fear that with a lineup like that, the only "Perl gurus" in attendance might be the 10 or so paid speakers.
Personally I do think chromatic's talk looks pretty cool. Most of the rest of them are either not in my sphere of interest (I don't do web stuff anymore) or things

Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, mostly. It's not a bad life. =) I'm also doing my share of guerilla Perl advocacy in our huge company, sometimes just by putting nice perl interfaces on C or Java libraries. A couple of them have made their way to CPAN in the Algorithm:: and Lingua:: [cpan.org] namespaces.
