Hmmm...Marburg posted the last ref to this that I remember... http://www.activestate.com/reference/perl_mastery.htm

Here's what I would do with it:

1. Print it out
2. In the margin, estimate the number of people that have reached each level (eg, 800,000, 400,000, 50,000, 100, 20, 1-3 -- you could use Perl monks as a subsample)
3. Put a big red X where you think you stand.
4. Put in envelope, seal, and snail mail.

That should get the point across even to a non-technical person.
