I mean, I'm 200+ points from "saint" (quotes here so religious people don't feel offended), and as far as I feel so proud of me to finally achieve the "saint" level, I don't feel like one. I have many MANY more things to learn with Perl before I can call myself one.

Being but a mere humble Monk myself, I can't help but feel that the more time one spends in the monastery, even while gathering XP left and right, the more one becomes aware of how much one *doesn't* know about Perl. So, in that light, it seems to me the enlightenment we seek can only be found in pure humility before the great untamed universe of Perl :-) Besides, I'm sure that by the time one has achieved a level of competence in Perl that could be described as "mastery" Perl 6 will be unleashed on an unsuspecting audience and everyone can start from scratch again.
