in reply to A request from level 21

I would like to see the level numbers emphasized more, in preference to the monastic titles.

The monastic titles have IMHO a much bigger problem than their religious overtones -- they reinforce the sense (and the statistic) that the Perl community is a mens club.

The level numbers are easier to interpret and remember, and don't carry as much ideological baggage.
