"There are people with more experience then me, who know less... (ofcourse not everyone). And the votes you get the highest XP on (or atleast in my experience) are the ones that get front-paged and are faq-like, or of which there is a good POD available (references for example)..."

I totally agree with this.

Look at my XP. I am still a beginner, having read the whole of Learning Perl twice and only doing the exercises up to chapter 8 so far (finding time is an issue). But I read a lot of Programming Perl, spend most days on here and read a lot on perldoc.

I put my XP down to having raised a lot of interesting questions (most stupid, I might add) and making a lot of replies that help people out by way of pointing them to the right CPAN module or place on perldoc, or testing their code for them.

That's why XP is just a number I guess!
