I agree. And frankly, the question wasn't unreasonable. "I have a Perl Problem and want to pay someone to fix it for me" is, in my humble opinion, much better than the usual "Please answer my school assignement for free. And do it now, i need to hand it in tomorrow".

If the post was a spam thing, i'd understand. But this clearly just someone asking for help with a Perl problem in exchange for pieces of paper with funny pictures and numbers printed on them.

As for sending people to jobs.perl.org, yeah nope, would certainly not be what i would do. That site is mostly empty of job offerings (and has been for a loooong time), so hardly any developer is going to look there. Plus, OPs Problem sounds more like a one-time fix than a permanent job offer, so it seems better suited to students needing a quick buck (or some of our senior citizens who have too much time on their hands and need a challenge).
