The following people are known to have contributed +the improvements that became Perl 5.36.1: + +Andreas König, Bram, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A.

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.
