i never saw the page linked either, but i think these links are what people are discussing:

this cpan module - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Acme-CPANAuthors-Female/ - included this file - https://github.com/sharyanto/perl-Acme-CPANAuthors-Female/bl... (some data also visible in cpan synopsis - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Acme-CPANAuthors-Female/lib/Acme...) - which was later dropped by the author, steven haryanto - http://blogs.perl.org/users/steven_haryanto/2012/07/so-appar...

the file in question lists 10 (or 11) female contributors to cpan.
