I'm all for Perl Monks appearing higher in Google search but xml.com definitely has its place in the list. Kip Hampton holds an excellent Perl and XML monthly column there which is 1) an excellent place for beginners (and less beginners) to find out about Perl, 2) very good publicity for Perl to XML crowd, 3) very goog publicity for XML to Perl crowds.

Three good reasons for it to "deserve" to be sitting there . People point to those articles because they are good and helpful to Perlians.
