<para>Lastly, you'll need to set up a symbolic link to
<filename>/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl</filename>
for the correct location of your Perl executable (probably
<filename>/usr/bin/perl</filename>).
Otherwise you must hack all the .cgi files to change where they look
for Perl. This can be done using the following Perl one-liner, but
I suggest using the symlink approach to avoid upgrade hassles.

<note>
<para><quote>Bonsaitools</quote> is the name Terry Weissman, the
original author of Bugzilla, created
for his suite of webtools at the time he created Bugzilla and several
other tools in use at mozilla.org. He created a directory,
<filename>/usr/bonsaitools</filename> to house his specific versions
of perl and other utilities. This usage is still current at
<ulink url="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/">bugzilla.mozilla.org</ulink>,
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
<filename>/usr/bonsaitools</filename> and <filename>/usr/bonsaitools/bin
</filename> directory, placing a symlink to perl on your system
inside <filename>/usr/bonsaitools/bin</filename>
