I think the slides could use some dressing up.
What's the Perl scene like in the UK? As a former Perl professional, I'm continually not impressed by the caliber of some of my colleagues. I've actually left for greener pastures.

Mostly London centric. Good roles tend to be in mid-sized companies with large existing Perl codebases rather than startups (who often choose something a little trendier) or huge corporates who rewrote everything in Java 5 years ago[1]. [1] Or, tried to, but there are still pockets of Perl everywhere that no-one ever got around to rewriting. See: Amazon, the BBC, etc.

Good to know :) I'm a Perl guy, but I'm looking for consultant / freelancing gigs. Do you think it's worth looking to the UK? I'm a Norwegian citizen, which is basically EU when it comes to working permits etc..
