If your penis looks like that, you better see a doctor.

Jeez.
Some l*beep*etters may be considered offensive as well*beep*beep*.
Next, you'll*beep*beep* be barred from using words such as Richard*beep*beep*beep*beep*beep*beep*beep* because it is a synonym for Dick*beep*beep*beep*beep*.

Or Harold Dick - who was a Math teacher at my High School.
Some anonymous person was kind enough, one weekend, to emblazen his door with a logo similar to Activestate's new lizard - sans hands - and the school in their infinite wisdom, instead of painting the door, sandblasted the "image" off leaving the outline.

I think basically what you have here is an example of bad cropping. The full uncropped "lizard" would be much less "suggestive", but likely not fit into a 32x32 icon. Which of course is just one for reason to use Mac OS X IMO :-P
Of course, if you really wanna get picky about phallic/vulvic symbols, then you could say that the Washington Monument in Wash. D.C. is really just a "symbol" of white-male domination. And then there is the shape of George Washinton's wig on the one dollar bill. Oh, and what about the CBS "eye", i mean come on, thats clearly a vagina turned on its side. Lets not get started on anything paintings by Georgia O'Keefe. And we all know what a cigar really is (wink wink, nudge nudge say no more).
But then again, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a lizard is just bad art direction.

I'm getting way offtopic, but
you could say that the Washington Monument in Wash. D.C. is really just a "symbol" of white-male domination
This claim has actually been made. Last year, someone at Harvard built a snow phallus. This article in the Harvard Crimson about the sculpture (contains a picture of the sculpture, so may not be worksafe), interviews, among other people, a Women’s Studies lecturer.
She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.
Once it's Turing complete, everything else is just syntactic sugar.

What does it usually mean when people instantly think of a penis at any distantly similar shape?

I have a screenshot of the Perl.exe resource file to prove it.
Well let's have IT (should've started with the icon)!

It's official, that's a-one harry beenis.
I guess ActiveState is shying away from Oreillys(?) trademark and going with their own.
I myself like par's icon.

Man, do you have an Active(state) imagination. I guess I can see how you got that out of the icon, but I don't think I would ever have seen it unless you had said something. I agree with comments made by Abigail-II and jdavidboyd.

When I installed ActiveState Perl 5.8.3.809 their icon looked more like a mushroom to me (gray color and all).
In windows icons are usually resources in a dll. I believe if you have the right tools you can alter the resource section of a dll if you find it truly offensive. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

As the OP says above,
It doesn't look much like a lizard when viewed as 32x32 icon sent as part of an e-mail to your boss!!
so the problem might be getting the modified binary to the boss's home machine.

Suggestive? you clearly haven't used the old Nesticle NES (Nintendo for those that live in a box) emulator then. Those who played it will know there was no suggestion needed in the icon (ballz!) -- I actually changed the icon to a nice beach ball so I could use the program in front of the parental units without having to comment on 'why is that on your computer'. Alas, such creativity is rarely seen in software these days. But maybe that's a good thing.
