APM: Small job for Perl/Javascript person

[Sam Foster]

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.
