I don't equate XP and Perl programming knowledge at all here, it's not a "People rise to their level of competence" thing.

It's more reflective of how much they've put into the Perlmonk community, and even then it's exceptionally vague and of questionable use.

If you're contributing by stimulating discussion with interesting and well-written questions, giving your views to the less technical discussion, or just voting thoughtfully then you're doing good things for the Perlmonks site and deserve the rank. You may not have the technical skills that some of the people here do, but then few of us do.

I apologise if it's moving you toward ranks you don't feel you 'deserve', but ++ to you for this one.
