wham has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I recently bought a dedicated Linux box at GoDaddy, and I'm looking to hire someone to install the latest version of GD on it via SSH. Normaly, Perl module installation using cpan is no problem, but GD requires an installer with some GD installation experience. It's problematic for the uninitiated. I could provide my IP and login info which you can use to access the server via Putty, and there you can su - root, and install it for me. When you're done, GD would have to pass a functionality test using 2 test scripts I've installed. One checks for the presence of GD, and the othe tests whether it's working okay. I would be willing to make payment via PayPal. If you have experience successfully installing GD, please contact me via ICQ# 483-701-301, if you don't have ICQ, then send me a personal message, and we'll hash-out all the details.

    perl's GD library is part of the standard linux distributions, i assume. and the installation tool will automatically solve any dependencies. e.g. for debian the command is:
    apt-get install libgd2-perl
