Ironically, if you want to log in to rt.perl.org (at least, for perl5 bugs, I wouldn't know about the perl6 side), Bitcard is all that's on offer.

Luckily, there's also a no passwords required email interface if you want to comment on bugs.

    My experience of rt has been woeful. The only time I ever go there these days is if google throws up a link when I'm searching for something.

    Even then, it usually only turns up a synopsis, and if I click on a link to actually read the details, it takes me to a login screen that has never worked for me.

    I'd report an aweful lot more of the bugs I encounter, if it'd let me. Without requiring me to become a detective to work out how. I reason that if "they" really wanted the information, they'd make it easy for me to give it to them. They don't, so I don't.

      The perlbug utility isn't working for you? There's no need to use rt.perl.org to report bugs.

        Isn't perlbug just for core? rt.cpan.org is for cpan.

        Personally, I like RT a lot (although I don't like installing it). Yes, logging in is a bit silly, when you follow a 'report a bug' link from cpan, you end up logged in to rt as 'anonymous', but then if you log out, and your browser remembers your authentication info, you can find yourself back at the correct queue pretty quickly.

        Possibly the best thing about RT is that you don't have to log into it. You can get most of the benefits of RT by using the email interface.
