in reply to XPs and real experience

If you're interested in a monk's qualifications, just ask. In the end, it's up to the monk to tell you what they want to tell you. I've actually been considering putting my resume up on my home node so that monks who run businesses might see it and strike up a job-offer conversation.

    I know that it's up to the monk to tell what he/she wants to tell. And from there should be the "Experience" evaluation. Not points because someone is hanging here(assuming that it is the reason for 200 and more points and 1 posting, but I might be wrong and the reason is another).
    Or probably I'm missing the real meaning of these points...
    I was just curious about this evaluation that is called "Experience", while I guess is not, at least not completely.
    Thanks for your reply

      Personally, I view XP as a measure of a person's involvement with the PM community, not necessarily a measure of their Perl knowledge.

      Most of my XP came from voting. Why don't I post more? Because I'm still learning Perl, so either I don't know the answer, or someone else has already provided one, and I have nothing to add (The posts where people re-iterate what someone else has already said really annoy me). So I vote instead, and make my small contribution to the PM community, and get my small reward in the form of an occasional XP point.

      I would also imagine that if you take a look at how long that person has been a Perl Monks user, you'd probably find that they've been here a while. If someone's willing to 'hang around' that long, I think they should be given some XP. Without these people, PM wouldn't be such a strong site.
