I think that more women would be attracted to Perl if it had more "pink" functions (the name "perl" is certainly a good start). I recommended some changes in perl6 to make perl more "feminine":

• instead of chomp(), use chew_lightly()
• chop()=>slice()
• sort()=>organize()
• sleep()=>beauty_sleep() with umask()
• sin()=>naughty()
• push(),pop()=>slide_on(),etc. (these functions are often misinterpreted by women as come-ons)
• no=>no (this keyword is often misinterpreted by men)
• kill()=>sigqueue() (I have POSIX backing on this one!)
• fork()=>spoon()
• use=>request_one_nighter
• truncate()=>spank()
• split()=>divorce()

Hopefully, my additions will be considered and incorporated in future releases of perl. I can only see them as beneficial to the Perl experience as a whole.
