Hi!

Please read HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux - http://ldp.kernelnotes.de/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ for some interesting thoughts on the topic "women / computers / sexism"

As for the stats:

I'm not married but living together with my girlfriend (and our two kids (7 and 3)) for eight years. Neither of us is social immature, and we're nearly the same age (although I'm 10 months older...)

Also what is about Perl that attracts more males than femals

I think that compared to other very technical fields, Perl attracts more women than those. This might be because you do not need to decode a lot of complicated technical jargon ( a common technique used by males to shut out women) to start using Perl.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
