Semi-yuck.  In my opinion, it is a better practice to figure out how to use
whatever debugging tools are available; printing stuff out is inefficient.

While I will admit that sometimes I do it to diagnose hard-to-find bugs (in
addition to Log4perl logging that we do at Yahoo!), it's relatively easy to
step through Bugzilla stuff with the vanilla Perl debugger.

If someone will remind me in a few weeks when we are fiddling around with
3.2 code at Y!, I will be happy to provide a brief tutorial on how to do it.
