Plan B would be to drop it.
The first step would be to figure out what it does. Probably the best
approach would be to setup an old system to run it against a

Probably not much. I'd guess a day or so, but that's mostly coming up to
speed, and is obviously a rough/wild guess.
It's written in perl. I don't know anything about perl nor do I have any

Ok, thanks Eric and Hal. Please file a bug against it, tagging it as
broken, uses Perl, uses Mode 7. Don't stop work on other stuff on your

I don't know.Nobody has reported that it doesn't work so I doubt if it

I don't know enough about the tool's use cases to have an informed opini
