Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>, +will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. + +If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it +inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it +to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription +unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be +able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help +co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all +platforms on which Perl is supported.
