There are also binary versions available for many platforms, most of which
are linked to from perl.com.

it's a good idea to be up to the very latest version
if you can when running Bugzilla. As of this writing, that is Perl
version 5.8.</P

This script is designed to make sure your perl modules are the correct
version and your MySQL database and other
configuration options are consistent with the Bugzilla CGI files.
It will make sure Bugzilla files and directories have reasonable
permissions, set up the
<TT

directory, and create all the MySQL tables.
