Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go +here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section. + +=head1 New Platforms + +XXX List any platforms that this version of perl compiles on, that previous +versions did not. These will either be enabled by new files in the F<hints/> +directories, or new subdirectories and F<README> files at the top level of the +source tree. + +=head1 Modules and Pragmata + +XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/> +go here.

Results can be pasted in place of the '=head2' entries +below.

There may also be +information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. + +If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug> +program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down +to a tiny but sufficient test case. 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 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. Please only use this address for +security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently +distributed on CPAN. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +The F<Changes> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details +on what changed. + +The F<INSTALL> file for how to build Perl. + +The F<README> file for general stuff. + +The F<Artistic> and F<Copying> files for copyright information. + +=cut |
