Fetch respective homenodes, parse for xp's, subtract and return diff. Return LWP::UserAgent error message if problem fetching. =head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS first_monk_nick second_monk_nick =head1 OPTIONS proxy (http://proxyhost.tld:port_num) =head1 AUTHOR ybiC =head1 KNOWN BUGS $xp not defined if check thepen's xp. Works fine for NodeReaper, so not as simple as negative rep.
