Your recruitment agent could well be telling porky pies NaP, are a
pretty reputable outfit - anything you didnt hear directly from them
I'd take with a pinch of salt, and I'd never turn down another offer
without a written offer or signed contract, certainly not on the word
of a recruiter.

Could be worth re-applying directly to that ad, if you haven't just
marked your own card by your posts about them to perl lists

cheers,

A
