+ Bugzilla used to have the path to perl on the shebang line set to
+ /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl because when
+ Terry first started writing the code for mozilla.org he needed a
+ version of Perl and other tools that were completely under his
+ control. This location was abandoned for the 2.18 release in favor
+ of the more sensible /usr/bin/perl. If you
+ installed an older verion of Bugzilla and created the symlink we
+ suggested, you can remove it now (provided that you don't have
+ anything else, such as Bonsai, using it and you don't intend to

+ Yes, the following bit of perl magic will change all the shebang
+ lines. Be sure to change /usr/local/bin/perl
+ to your path to the perl binary.
