Use.Perl's users

I was wondering... how many of the users here are women? :-)

This reminds me of when I was explaning to my girlfriend about this site (which she had already consulted to read my blog)... when I said "and then there are other users... some of then even comment on my journal, as you might have seen", her immediate answer was: "Then who's that barbie?" O:-)

Sorry to disappoint ....

but I am defintitely a bloke, as you'll witness when you get to YAPC::Europe. Barbie has been a nickname for 20 years ... and despite many attempts by London.pm, I have yet to tell anyone why :)

I am hoping it is not because you are smooth all over like Barbie! :-)

I have way too much hair to be smooth ... I had a beard at 14 and still usually have a 5 o'clock shadow by lunchtime!

I would have thought that the "-trix" suffix would have been a bit of a clue :)

If delegatrix being a woman surprises you, then I'm almost afraid to tell you about Abigail.
