There are a few ways, David. Popping is commonly done in babies, probing and scale counts can be done at any age, and in many cases, you can just tell by looking at the tail. How old of a corn are we talking about here?

Honestly there's no way to tell by just looking at the snake; It needs to be either popped or probed by a person that knows what they are doing as you can really hurt the snake if done improperly.
I have read on some sites, that you can tell by the length of the "tail tip" and that males with have a small bulge right before the tail starts, and the tail itself will be much longer than that of a females tail, This is by no means scientific; and can most definitely give you a "false" answer.
It's also hard to do with only one snake as it is easier to see with a male and female for comparison..
Your best bet would be to go see a REPTILE vet! Or someone that knows about Herps,

Recommend buying a probe kit off the internet. Here are some helpful videos from Kathy Love: http://www.cornutopia.com/Corn%20Utopia%20on%20the%20Web/-%20Sexing%20corn%20snakes%20-%20intro%20to%20vid%20clips.htm

A simple Google search "sexing corn snakes" should provide you with images if you decide to "guess" from counting the tail scales, etc. rather than probing.

Make sure your vet is qualified!!
I had one Sex a BP for me.....And To this day....I'm not sure. No matter, as it's my only BP.
Basically....He lifts the tail and says..."Ahhh small spurs....Female" end of discussion.
In the back of my mind im thinking...."well thats not very accurate...now is it?"
If you can get your hands on a Kathy Love " cornsnake Manual" it as some REALLY good pics of the differences in male/females based solely on visual cues.

If it's an adult you can sex by palpating. Very simple, pretty accurate, and completely non-invasive
