The following people are known to have contributed +the improvements that became Perl 5.28.1: +.PP +Aaron Crane, Abigail, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, David +Mitchell, James E Keenan, John \s-1SJ\s0 Anderson, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, +Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Tony Cook. +.PP +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. +.PP +Many of the changes included in this version originated in the \s-1CPAN\s0 modules +included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire \s-1CPAN\s0 community for +helping Perl to flourish. +.PP +For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see +the \fI\s-1AUTHORS\s0\fR file in the Perl source distribution. +.SH "Reporting Bugs" +.IX Header "Reporting Bugs" +If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database +at <https://rt.perl.org/> .

Your bug report, along with the output of \f(CW\*(C`perl \-V\*(C'\fR, +will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. +.PP +If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it +inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then see +\&\*(L"\s-1SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION\*(R"\s0 in perlsec +for details of how to report the issue. +.SH "Give Thanks" +.IX Header "Give Thanks" +If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5, +you can do so by running the \f(CW\*(C`perlthanks\*(C'\fR program: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& perlthanks +.Ve +.PP +This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +The \fIChanges\fR file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on +what changed. +.PP +The \fI\s-1INSTALL\s0\fR file for how to build Perl. +.PP +The \fI\s-1README\s0\fR file for general stuff. +.PP +The \fIArtistic\fR and \fICopying\fR files for copyright information. |
