I'd be inclined to a pretty informal walk through of the highlights of the code that catalyzed the "seminar" with an intent of generating a series of "That's cool", and "Neat!". There's not enough time to really introduce the language enough that anyone is going to go off afterwards and write an opus using it, but you can flash enough neat stuff before them to stimulate some interest in following up. Treat it more as a question and answer session with a small number of natty code samples.
And of course when they ask where to find out more, you know where to point them. ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
