Bugzilla 3.0 update experience

We just upgraded our Bugzilla instillation from 2.22 to 3.0
yesterday. 

It looks great!  We immediately added a custom field. In
fact, the 
ability to do that is what prompted the upgrade.  I also
like the no 
more accidentally submitting the same bug twice fix.  I know
I've been 
guilty of that on several occasions.  Just closing and
reopening Firefox 
after submitting a bug would do it when Firefox restored the
session.  
Glad to see that one solved.

About the only problem we had was that Firefox users had to
clear their 
browser cache or it tried to render the page with a cached
style sheet 
from 2.22 and everything looked really ugly.

The only real installation problem I had was trying to get
all the Perl 
modules installed onto a machine which is on a private LAN
physically 
isolated from the Internet (so cpan doesn't help).  The
bugzilla site 
lists the Perl modules that it requires, but for some of
those I had to 
follow dependencys three or four levels deep.  I don't think
anything 
can really be done about that though.

It should be possible to build a distro specific bundle with
the
required libraries bundled in or a PAR archive for that
situation.

Bundling a copy of PAR into bugzilla could make installation
a whole lot easier.
