If you somehow relate XP to Perl expertise, you're way off. :) In fact, I have no understanding of how anyone with more than 3 hours of programming experience would see a relationship there. There are [skeight|some people] on this site (whom I know personally), that do [http://www.emergeknowledge.com|excellent work], and yet have low XP. [skeight] is a good friend of mine and an <i>amazing</i> hacker. He was the type that would finish his programming exams in 15-20 minutes when everyone else would take 1.5-2 hours (I wish that was just an exaggeration).
<p>[mothra|I] happen to have reasonably high XP even though at this time I do almost no Perl coding: my day job pays me to do something else and so I focus on that "something else" much more than I do Perl. As it turns out, I am currently doing a website in Perl for a client (it's still in it's very very very [http://www.canadaallergy.com/~canadaal/|early stages], and the admin hasn't configured Apache properly yet, which is making matters worse, but it'll get there). As well, I just love using Perl, I find this site to have some really interesting stuff and think that I can offer [id://70460|useful advice] also.
<p>I wouldn't say you're being anal so much as naive.
