+# Code of Conduct
+
+Development of the Perl 5 language is covered by the [Standards of
+Conduct](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#STANDARDS-OF-CONDUCT) in the
+[perlpolicy](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy) document. (See
+[pod/perlpolicy.pod](pod/perlpolicy.pod) for source version.)
+
+The overarching rule is that participants are expected to **be civil**.
+It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil.
+
+The Standard of Conduct falls under the authority of the
+[Perl Steering Council](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlgov#The-Steering-Council)
+and covers activities on the perl5-porters mailing list, the
+GitHub repository issue/pull-request tracker, and any other venues
+directly organized on behalf the Perl Steering Council.
+
+**NOTE**: The Perl Steering Council operates independently of
+[The Perl Foundation](https://www.perlfoundation.org/) and other
+Perl community organizations. Consult their websites for information on
+other community codes of conduct.
