Bugzilla [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/] is a [bug tracking system] that was constructed to handle issues raised against the [Mozilla] project. Originally written in [Tcl] it was ported to [Perl] by [Netscape] engineers. Bugzilla uses a [MySQL] database to hold the bug data and is accesed through CGI scripts written in Perl. Bugzilla is rapidly becoming the most widely used bug tracking system for open source projects. Notable installations include [RedHat] [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi], [ActiveState] [http://bugs.activestate.com/], OpenOffice [http://www.openoffice.org/project_issues.html] and of course the Mozilla project. The most recent versions of bugzilla provide a templating mechanism to permit sites to customize the [HTML] output without having to hack the perl source quite so much.
