I have successfully used Perl contractors from overseas. Things to think about: As for what I pay, I have found a couple of groups that do solid work for $2000/month for 160 hours. I don't agree with the you get what you pay for posts. I have had both really poor code and really great code written by $150/hour programmers and I have had some really fantastic code written by $10/hour people. With cheap programmers it is really easy to set them up to do one of those tasks you would like to have done, but never have the time to do. Then see if what they produce is worthwhile (give them a strict deadline as well to see if they can meet that). If not you haven't wasted an arm and a leg in fees. If everything turns out well you can give them a bigger or more critical project, just like you would with a new staff coder.
