After receiving rave reviews from the crowds at the Pittsburgh Perl
Workshop, we're pleased to present a repeat performance of...

  Peter Scott's

   Talking to Managers 
Plan to stay afterward to get a bite in a local restaurant. 

A somewhat whimsical yet practical look at how to bridge the chasm that
separates geeks from managers. What gets in our way of promoting Perl to the
suits, and what can we do about it? 

Info about the presenter:

Peter Scott is the author of Perl Medic
<http://pghpw.org/schedule/talking_to_managers.html> and Perl Debugged. He
has worked in software development since 1981 and with Perl since 1992. A

designing enterprise infrastructures, with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as
a major client. He has taught at OSCON, YAPC, and on the Perl Whirl.
