Thank you for your opinion.

*Just LONG*
I firmly believe that this is a reasonable question. Why else would CPAN host a module that attempts to solve this?

While I completely understand the limitations (The ambiguity of particular names for instance, as you pointed out) of a concept like this and I would never expect it to be 100% accurate, we target our audience through certain advertisements and offers based upon their gender. Would you ask a female if they wanted to buy * enhancement supplements? Would you ask a male if he wanted to buy a diaphragm?

As it just so happens, however, individuals are very unlikely to fill out a question that asks them "What gender are you?" and such questions must forever remain optional and 'skip-able'.

Therefore, our ability to unfailingly gather pointed data from our viewers is quite limited and we are attempting a 'behind-the-scenes' approach.

Subjective - I fail to see how you draw that conclusion as my feelings and opinion have very little to do with this.

Unreliable - Hypothetically. In its current form; however, this module produces 6.8% accuracy for our data. I am not asking for 100% accuracy, but I would like to see that number increase.

Finally, we anticipate that some of this data will end up being UNDEF which is perfectly acceptable.

This question that would not be 'touched with a 20 foot pole' was blatantly beaten with a one inch subjective metal bar.
