There are quite a number of married monks. There are also a decent number of female monks (and yes, that is the correct term). I happen to be neither -- I'm quite single, and male. I find it interesting, however, that PM seems to have a quite large proportion of females, for as technical a world as it is -- I see far more women here then (say) on any computer mailing list I've ever been on, or any other technical community I can think of. In fact, I see more female monks then female students in intro-level CS classes.
There are probably several reasons for this, the most important reason being that I mainly notice people on the CB, and the CB is a social medium. (As sexist as it sounds, I think men are more drawn to technical fora and women to social fora. If you think about the population of PM vs. AIM or LJ, your'll see what I mean... the population of the internet, surveys have shown, is predominatly male, but AIM and LJ are both overwelmingly female.)

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).
