If you were transliterating code (i.e. looking at one version and 
writing it in a different language) then yes, because it's a derivative 
work.

But why would you want to "rewrite Bugzilla in ColdFusion"? ColdFusion 
is very different from Perl; if you need a ColdFusion bug tracker (why? 
 then it would probably be more sensible to write one from scratch.
