49 | The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated |
50 | from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of | |
51 | the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug | |
52 | tracker. | |

54 | Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules |
55 | included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for | |
56 | helping Perl to flourish. | |
