In my four years here at perlmonks I've never seen a contemporary node even approaching a reputation of 200
I'm pretty sure there is one (only) node since 2007 with a reputation above 200, namely Don't go all PerlMonks on me by bobf posted on April 9 2007, which today has a reputation of 270 (update: 279 on 1-1-2018).

The often cited and classic XY Problem by jdporter, reputation today 263, (update: 299 on 1-1-2018, 301 on 1-1-2021) was posted on April 10 2006 and so would have been visible on "Best nodes of the year" for a few months early in 2007.

Best Nodes shows only one above 100
Just noticed that Erudil (in the period 2000-2002) posted a total of thirteen Perl Monks nodes and every one of them is 100+! In order, as at Dec 2012, their rep is: 763, 650, 407, 365, 309, 209, 205, 203, 194, 154, 138, 112, 100 for an average node rep of 293!! (update 1-1-2018 rep: 790, 664, 413, 372, 319, 222, 210, 209, 201, 158, 143, 115, 103). (update 15-05-2021: 793, 667, 415, 373, 320, 225, 211, 210, 205, 159, 144, 116, 104).
