[perl #119949] +.SH Acknowledgements +.IX Header "Acknowledgements" +Perl 5.18.4 represents approximately 9 months of development since Perl 5.18.2 +and contains approximately 2,000 lines of changes across 53 files from 13 +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 5.18.4: +.PP +Daniel Dragan, David Mitchell, Doug Bell, Father Chrysostomos, Hiroo Hayashi, +James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Mark Shelor, Ricardo Signes, Shlomi Fish, +Smylers, 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 CPAN modules +included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for +helping Perl to flourish. +.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. |
