Well, you are level 7, so it's easy to gain lots of XP with minimal effort. Keep refreshing the newest nodes page. As soon as a new question is posted, post a follow up. It doesn't matter whether you actually answer the question, or whether your answer is correct. As long as it looks good. It helps if you put in catch phrases like 'use strict' or 'use warnings', even if that wouldn't solve the problem at all. Throw in some other remarks like "I love Perl", "I love open source", "I hate meetings". Now frontpage the the original question. It doesn't matter whether it's off-topic or whether it's been asked a billion times before - early replies on frontpaged questions gets lot of XP. And remember, there's no moderation of the frontpaging itself. Once it's on the frontpage (getting it on the frontpage takes just one "in favour" vote - your vote) it can't be voted off.

2000 XP/month should be easy using this technique.
