As a friend in the antiques business constantly reminds me: value is an individual estimation, and there is no such thing as worth: only what people are willing to pay. Some companies get things for free where other companies will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the same thing (*cough* Oracle *cough*).

In your case, you have to decide how much money you want to get for the time you have to devote to the project. Your answer will be depend on your particular situation and what your time is worth to you. Charge them as much as they'll pay you: it's your time they are buying, after all, and there are plenty of people looking to hire Perl programmers.
