Again, ++ for effort, but I think you're confusing levels with something that actually *means* something :)

This idea of "perl knowledge" is extremely variable - someone could be a 'Perl Expert', but a poor programmer, and vice versa - but that's not all the monastery is about. Generally, my more useful contributions here have been to do with broader matters of application design, UI, or even 'attitude'. Where 'problems' are concerned, I'm *nowhere near* writing the book, but I'm fairly good at putting myself in the position of a newbie and understanding what they're trying to achieve, and that's what I think my XP reflects.

The sheer fact that (I hope {g} ) your XP will rise due to this Discussion reflects your input into the community - as an idea, it may be rejected, but as a means of provoking discussion, it's great :)

cheers,
Ben.
