If any +exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. +.SH Deprecations +.IX Header "Deprecations" +There have been no deprecations since 5.16.0. +.SH "Modules and Pragmata" +.IX Header "Modules and Pragmata" +.SS "Updated Modules and Pragmata" +.IX Subsection "Updated Modules and Pragmata" +.IP \(bu 4 +Encode has been upgraded from version 2.44 to version 2.44_01. +.IP \(bu 4 +Module::CoreList has been upgraded from version 2.76 to version 2.76_02. +.IP \(bu 4 +XS::APItest has been upgraded from version 0.38 to version 0.39. +.SH "Known Problems" +.IX Header "Known Problems" +None. +.SH Acknowledgements +.IX Header "Acknowledgements" +Perl 5.16.3 represents approximately 4 months of development since Perl 5.16.2 +and contains approximately 870 lines of changes across 39 files from 7 authors. +.PP +Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community +of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the +improvements that became Perl 5.16.3: +.PP +Andy Dougherty, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dave Rolsky, David Mitchell, Michael +Schroeder, Ricardo Signes, Yves Orton. +.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 +For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see +the \fIAUTHORS\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 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. +.PP +If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the 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 \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 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. +.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 \fIINSTALL\fR file for how to build Perl. +.PP +The \fIREADME\fR file for general stuff. +.PP +The \fIArtistic\fR and \fICopying\fR files for copyright information. |
