[yapc] Why my()?

Bruce Gray will give a talk at YAPC::NA_2012 described as:
     Why do you use my instead of our? When should you use our? Why
     not use vars?
     Why does `use strict` catch $typo, but not $Data::Dumper::typo?
     Why do *you* need to care about namespaces? And what are they really?
     Why does your module name need to agree with your package
     statement? What happens if it doesnt?
     Most of the answers are easy to learn, but much harder to remember,
     so many Perl programmers end up doing the right thing only through
     repeated references to examples and docs.
     The answers become both clear *and* memorable in this talk, via a
     rapid walk through the history of Perl. 
     As we skim the timeline of key language elements, you will see the
     problems they were needed to solve, and understand where and how they
     should be used.
