Hi,
In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1089446 I'm removing
some old, unused Perl scripts from the tree. I'm giving notice here
just in case any of the scripts I'm planning to remove are still being
used, and also to find out if more scripts can be removed.
My working list and notes are below. Everything in the "REMOVING"
section is on track to be removed. Assistance on the "UNSURE" section
would be helpful.
Thank you.
Nick
