is the name Terry Weissman, the

+ for his suite of webtools at the time he created Bugzilla and several
+ other tools in use at mozilla.org. He created a directory,
+ /usr/bonsaitools to house his specific versions
+ of perl and other utilities. This usage is still current at
+ bugzilla.mozilla.org,
+ but in general most other places do not use it. You can either edit
+ the paths at the start of each perl file to the correct location of
+ perl on your system, or simply bow to history and create a
+ /usr/bonsaitools and /usr/bonsaitools/bin
+ directory, placing a symlink to perl on your system
+ inside /usr/bonsaitools/bin
