XP != learned. Also, there may be many very learned perl users who have just registered on perl monks yesterday, or the day before. As far as people who are both learned and long-time monks, just go to the Saints page. It ranks by number of writeups, and from that page you are two clicks away from accessing those writeups.
Hope this helps.

Ah, but lots of posts also != learned. If someone asked
400 questions, s/he'd end up near the top of the list.
...I think the best way to see who knows what s/he's
saying is to just lurk and read.

Or something in a similar vein would be to divide a monks XP by the # of
writeups so we can get an idea (albeit a skewed one) of the average
score for their piece:

Dividing XP by # of writeups would be too inaccurate, since
XP is gained not only when one posts, but also for regular
logging in, voting, and getting voted for. See
Voting/Experience System

Only if I get an 'opt out' button - there are comments I make
that I do not want to be considered for XP, such as when I
am trying to clarify my answer or my questions. There are
also a few times when I am just having fun in response
to a survey and I would hate to think those would have an
undesirable affect on my rating.

That would be fair I suppose. I don't know. It was just an idea... :)
