I think it would be really, really cool if some of the gurus in the Perl 
world were to spend some time looking at Bugzilla and making 
constructive suggestions, in bang-for-buck order, about what we might 
change about our code or our processes to make live easier for 
developers or users. Yes, it would take some time - at least a few hours 
for each person - but it would be a wonderful service that the Perl 
community could perform to benefit (indirectly) the free software 
community as a whole.

Aaron, if you have the contacts and could arrange something like this, 
perhaps on a Saturday afternoon one weekend with all the people in an 
IRC channel (so the Bugzilla developers can answer the Perl gurus' 
questions)...
