thenetfreaker,
To pick up on your third point, I suggested to you via the CB that in addition to asking for volunteers here that it may be advantageous to create a project over at
SourceForge. In addition to all of the benefits
SourceForge offers as far as project management and collaboration goes perhaps there are users on
SourceForge who have the skills you require to achieve your goal, and would be willing to help. Sadly not everyone reads
Perl Monks and by widening your scope you may find someone out there with the skills and time to help you with this.
Also please read
How do I post a question effectively? if you have not done so already, it is referenced in the
PerlMonks FAQ, and has a section titled
Don't Give Us Your Email Address.
