Did anyone else get the feeling that it took 2 years of porting Bugzilla to Java for the OP to figure out you don't need to install Perl to view a website?

- froo 18y agoMy understanding after reading the whole thing was that he wanted to rewrite Bugzilla in Java so that they could get a bug tracking system for governmental use - although what specifically for (given he was referencing library of congress) is anyones guess. But since I would assume that the bug tracking would be an internal thing, most likely on some internal network - why would not allowing Perl be a concern? Especially since he was talking about devices that don't run Perl. I'm still at a loss what devices couldn't run Perl that would be governmental that could warrant such a big job for a bug tracking system. The whole thing was highly confusing. I hope the guy makes a million bucks, but I'm sure he was trying to create a complex solution rather than an elegant solution.
