Indeed, I chose the name "Baby cart". :-)

I knew about this name because a decade or two earlier (1987!), Lone Wolf and Cub had been published in comic-book form in the US, and I had read about it in a French fanzine (older than Perl, and still published!).

A few years later, I saw one one of the Baby Cart movies (most likely Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades) in a small theater in my home town.

These were my influences in picking the name.

For the historians among us, I just found the thread in fwp where I proposed the "baby cart" name (a year and a halt after the original thread).

Regarding the Urban Dictionary reference, I had no idea about that meaning of the term. Although this comment in the original "Secret Operators" thread might hint at some other lewd reference. (I have no memory of what the "name we found" was).

I listed the alternatives in the perlsecret manual page following the discussion in that thread, which made it clear it wasn't a very common term.
