=head1 Acknowledgements
-XXX Generate this with:
+Perl 5.24.1 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl 5.24.0
+and contains approximately 5,700 lines of changes across 45 files from 10
+authors.
- perl Porting/acknowledgements.pl v5.24.0..HEAD
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 590 lines of changes to 10 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+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 5.24.1:
+
+Alex Vandiver, Craig A. Berry, Father Chrysostomos, James E Keenan, Karen
+Etheridge, Matthew Horsfall, Ricardo Signes, Sawyer X, Steve Hay, 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.
