[<dch...@gm...>]

I saw the programmer/maintainer/developer/creator say on GitHub.com the 
commits need building.  I found a shell script that built Mozilla.pm.  
However, now I have another problem, either due to no build instructions 
(maybe I missed some other build scripts?) or a bug, and I posted that 
on CGI:IRC GitHub issues page last night.
