The question becomes, do I do what I love and develop these apps knowing I am being paid half of what the developers for these kinds of applications make? If I do let them exploit me like that, what stops them from doing it again? Am I being insubbordinate if I say no?

If you want to get out of what you're doing, it may be that you've just been handed a ticket. Doing this will be great fun, and good for the resume. Sure, it's at half pay, but with Perl it shouldn't take you too long to do...

It's not insubbordination to tell you boss that parts of the job are outside of your capabilities. Sign up for only the parts you have confidence that you can handle.
