Yes, a better Perl script [1] :-)

In C, re2c [2] provides something similar, and there are similar tools available in other languages.

Depends on the system. The default on Arch Linux is local gem installs:

    $ cat /etc/gemrc
    # --user-install is used to install to $HOME/.gem/ by default since we want to separate
    #                pacman installed gems and gem installed gems
    gem: --user-install

It's possible to install unsigned addons in ESR, developer and unbranded builds of Firefox. It's no longer possible to install them in the regular release or beta versions. The hidden setting was disabled in Firefox 48.
