I'd love to team up with someone on this is anyone's interested. My perl
is passable - probably low-intermediate level? My database skills are
non-existant (hence my interest) but I have extensive javascript and
web/browser gui skills.
The cash would be less important than the opportunity to work alongside
someone doing the perl/db thing in a real-world application.
