I subscribe to the Perl jobs list, not because I'm looking, but just to stay up on what people are looking for and what they will pay. I've seen plenty like what you describe, but I've also seen a position in the equities dept. of a finance company that pays $90-110, and O'Reilly just posted with a full-time Perl gig in Cali. There is definitely a wide range of pay and prestige, but I think there are some good positions out there. ky
