Not entirely sure if this is topical, but I figure some other people might find this useful.

As an alternative to contrib/console.pl, I use Reply[1] which has persistence of lexical variables, tab completion for methods and such, and other nice bits.
I've copied a few of the utility functions from console.pl to a config file, which also loads main Bugzilla module & extensions[2].
A good REPL can be really useful at times.
