I've got the only conference proceedings I've seen---Perl Conference 4.0 I've looked, but haven't seen the proceedings for 5.0 I left a message with the postmaster at O'Reilly, but it apparently fell through the cracks as I never got any feedback. Maybe someone who actually knows something will chime in!?
