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.
So why the "moon on a stick" comment?
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.
