[ #32823 ]

Someone is looking for help installing WWW::MySpace. And they're willing to pay $300 if you're successful.

Is there a catch somewhere?

Update: I understand he was asking for help with this on #perl yesterday. And that he has nefarious purposes in mind.

This is from memory (I don't keep IRC logs).

K comes into #perl and says he will pay $100 for someone to login to his server, get WWW::Myspace installed, and explain how to do it - easy money.

I reply that we are not here looking for jobs, that we are here mostly to help people learn for free, and that you couldn't afford us if you hired us. I went on to mention that Randal (merlyn) charges $250/hr with a 4 hour minimum.

Insert a bunch of banter about how futile WWW::Myspace must be anyway - blah blah blah
