How I can help
Two kinds of work I take on:

Help with Perl code: bug fixes, new features, performance, upgrades, database work, scripts, code reviews and moving CGI apps to a modern setup. I work remotely with teams across India.
Every project is different, so I quote after I understand the work. Get in touch.
