The following people are known to +have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.16.2: + +Andy Dougherty, Craig A. Berry, Darin McBride, Dominic Hargreaves, Karen +Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Peter Martini, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook. + +The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically +generated from version control history. In particular, it does not +include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who +reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. + +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 http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . 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 |
