lol! Sounds like it was for the same company I had a part-time job for. However, in my defence, they supplied a 800 page manual, no access to the senior developer and when I couldn't understand their organically-grown multi-language server within 3 weeks, sacked me. My pay? Zero for a months work.

Once bitten, twice-eager to try again... I live in a very rural area and tele-commuting is virtually my only chance of employment in perl without moving to a more populated area - which is a sacrifice I'm not willing to make.
