    Hi chatbox,

    Quoting May I post a job ad?

    No. PerlMonks is not to be used as a job board.

    Job postings (either offering or looking for) should be posted to jobs.perl.org, which exists specifically for this purpose.

    I've unreaped this node. I see it more as a cry for help than a commercial job ad to fill a position. It isn't an appropriate posting, but the reply by ww addresses that somewhat well. To bring this post more into the line of this site, you could post something that we could help with:

    • What parts of the script are not working, and how exactly are they failing?
    • What are the functions that need to be changed to SQL?
    • What is the database schema to target / what data is stored in what way currently?

    A more meta question in general would be

    • How do I find good short term perl contractors?

    but I'm afraid I don't have good answers to that.
