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. 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. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the _AUTHORS_ file in the Perl source distribution. ### Reporting Bugs If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database at <>. There may also be information at <>, the Perl Home Page. If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at <>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see "SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION" in perlsec for details of how to report the issue. ### 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 "perlthanks" program: perlthanks This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. ## SEE ALSO The _Changes_ file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on what changed.
