1. When the downloaded data file from Mozilla is current, but the output bundle does not exist: continue processing to create the bundle. The goal is to have the output file - not just download the latest input. 2. added -f option to force re-processing the file. Useful for debugging/testing the process. 3. added support for output to '-' (stdout), allowing the output to be piped. 4. All progress and error messages go to STDERR rather than STDOUT (3) 5. The script opened and closed the output file many times unnecessarily. It now opens it once, does the output and closes it. 6. Backup of the input files happens after successful processing, not before. 7. The output is written to a temporary file, and renamed to the requested name after backup - this greatly reduces the window where the file can be seen partially written. 8. all die calls have a \n at the end to suppress perl's traceback - the traceback isn't useful to end users.
