+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 5.25.3:

+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.
