The following people are known to have contributed the +improvements that became Perl 5.21.0: + +Nicholas Clark, Ricardo Signes. + +For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see +the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution. + +=head1 Reporting Bugs + +If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently +posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at +https://rt.perl.org/ . 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 L<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 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. 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 |
