In particular, it does not 85include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who 86reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. 87 88For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, 89please see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution. 90 91=head1 Reporting Bugs 92 93If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles 94recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl 95bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be 96information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. 97 98If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> 99program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down 100to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the 101output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be 102analysed by the Perl porting team. 103 104If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it 105inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please 106send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed 107subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core 108committers, who will be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure 109out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to 110mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is 111supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl 112core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN. 113 114=head1 SEE ALSO 115 116The F<Changes> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details 117on what changed. 118 119The F<INSTALL> file for how to build Perl. 120 121The F<README> file for general stuff. 122 123The F<Artistic> and F<Copying> files for copyright information. 124 125=cut 126
