       WWW::Bugzilla bugs.

INTERFACE

       The following fields are multiple choice fields:

       classification, component, op_sys, priority, product, resolution, bug_severity, bug_status, target_milestone, version, hardware,
       rep_platform

       Available options can be retrieved via:

BUGS, IMPROVEMENTS
       There may well be bugs in this module.  Using it as I have, I just have not run into any.  In addition, this module does not support ALL of
       Bugzilla's features.  I will consider any patches or improvements, just send me an email at the address listed below.
