Mkay, so Abigail is a guy despite the appearance. You are a guy despite what some people may think. I am a guy despite what some people tend to think and what some version of (I think) Mastering Perl 5 wrote. How do we know there are not quite a few well known members of the community that just use a gender neutral (or male sounding) nick and are female? :-)

    Most well-known members of the Perl community show up at YAPC, Oscon, FrosCon, perlmongers groups, local perl workshops etc.

    As moritz pointed out, what we see online mirrors what we see offline both at public conferences and in our workplaces. There is therefore no reason to suspect that there is a large pool of women posting anonymously online.
