If any exist, +they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report.

The following people are known to have contributed +the improvements that became Perl 5.30.1: +.PP +Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dan Book, David Mitchell, Hugo van der Sanden, James E +Keenan, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Manuel Mausz, Max Maischein, Nicolas +R., Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Tom Hukins, 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 perl bug database at +<https://rt.perl.org/>. 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 see +"SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION" 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 \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. |
