Someone with a decent CRUD framework should be able to get something

Peter would seem to disagree there.
I would also estimate it to take about a day or so. £500 would
therefore be a reasonable estimate at the typical market rate of
£300-400/day for a Perl contractor.
However, you're after a fixed-price job, which costs more because the
contractor is taking on the extra risk of the job going pear-shaped
for reasons outside their control. And IMO, £500 isn't enough to cover
that risk.
