Actually, I think the monks are going about this all wrong. We already know he's going for the lowest XP. But I think this thread is something different. In this node he mentions Perl::Improved being "fun", and that too many monks "don't get it". Fun? Get it? Sounds like it's all a joke. That's what we all should be responding to: how funny it is!
Unfortunately for you Wassercrats, even with this new criterion, your node is subpar. As a comedian, you need to think of your audience. Although I didn't go to a university, or study programming formally, I find an affinity for the type of humor programmers tend to exhibit, especially those with *nix background. (At least, this is my impression.) It's wry, clever, offbeat, with many literary/cultural references.
So my advice Wassercrats, get a feel for sense of humor you need. Watch plenty of Monty Python and The Simpsons. Read The Lord of the Rings for good literary references; and of course all the O'Reilly Perl books, which tend to exhibit the proper tone.
But. if it makes you feel any better, my kids would probably think "It's dumb" hilarious. I know "rats ass crew" would have them ROTFLTAO ;)
