Following are a few resources you may find handy:

agstools The place where BugTrack and other goodies comes from.
ActiveState Essential tools and resources for open source programming (Perl and others).
DBI "The DBI is a database interface module for Perl. It defines a set of methods, variables and conventions that provide a consistent database interface independent of the actual database being used."
DBI Tutorial An article I stumbled across regarding the Perl DBI (Database Independent Interface).
Instructions These same installation instructions in a MS Word 2000 document
setup.pl
conf.pm
dbase.pm 		Modified versions of the BugTrack lib/setup.pl, lib/conf.pm, and lib/dbase.pm files, as described in this document.

If you use these instructions and still have difficulty getting BugTrack to run, you can contact me (Gordon Reynolds) with a description of the problem and I'll try to help. For more general questions regarding BugTrack, you should try contacting Adam Siegel at Agstools or post a message on the message board.
