+Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant
+community of users and developers. The following people are known to
+have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.16.1:
+
+Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Father Chrysostomos, Karl
+Williamson, Paul Johnson, Reini Urban, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook.
+
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
+generated from version control history. In particular, it does not
+include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who
+reported issues to the Perl bug tracker.
+
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN
+modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN
+community for helping Perl to flourish.
+
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors,
+please see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
