887 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
888 | ||
889 | A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that | |
55d729e4 | 890 | come with it, and mail them. |
d121ca8c CS |
891 | |
892 | If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part | |
893 | of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a | |
894 | non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the | |
895 | documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct | |
896 | place to report bugs. | |
897 | ||
898 | C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments | |
899 | will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts. | |
900 | ||
901 | If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have | |
902 | a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to | |
903 | compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. You might | |
904 | find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case. | |
905 | ||
906 | In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through | |
907 | this checklist: | |
908 | ||
909 | =over 4 | |
910 | ||
884baa66 | 911 | =item What version of Perl you are running? |
d121ca8c CS |
912 | |
913 | Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out. | |
914 | ||
915 | =item Are you running the latest released version of perl? | |
916 | ||
917 | Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest | |
918 | released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been | |
884baa66 | 919 | fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially |
d121ca8c CS |
920 | those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears. |
921 | You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4. | |
922 | ||
923 | =item Are you sure what you have is a bug? | |
924 | ||
925 | A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented | |
884baa66 | 926 | features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall |
d121ca8c | 927 | under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes |
884baa66 | 928 | with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of |
d121ca8c CS |
929 | it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant). |
930 | ||
931 | Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues | |
932 | fall into. See L<perltrap>. | |
933 | ||
f27fa58d MG |
934 | Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean. |
935 | If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl. | |
936 | Consult your operating system documentation instead. | |
bdcdfa19 | 937 | |
1948c06a CN |
938 | If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some |
939 | features may be unimplemented or work differently. | |
bdcdfa19 | 940 | |
884baa66 | 941 | Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary. |
d121ca8c CS |
942 | See L<perldebug>. |
943 | ||
944 | =item Do you have a proper test case? | |
945 | ||
946 | The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be | |
947 | fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it. | |
948 | A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number | |
949 | of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or | |
950 | libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting. | |
951 | ||
952 | A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl | |
953 | test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so | |
954 | that it will readily fit into the standard test suite. | |
955 | ||
bdcdfa19 JH |
956 | Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any. |
957 | "Perl complained something" is not an exact error message. | |
958 | ||
959 | If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger | |
960 | (B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug | |
961 | report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info | |
962 | (often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use | |
884baa66 | 963 | because it will most probably contain only the function names and not |
bdcdfa19 JH |
964 | their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and |
965 | reproduce the dump and the stack trace. | |
966 | ||
d121ca8c CS |
967 | =item Can you describe the bug in plain English? |
968 | ||
969 | The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it | |
970 | will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the | |
884baa66 JH |
971 | problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the |
972 | problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries. | |
d121ca8c CS |
973 | |
974 | =item Can you fix the bug yourself? | |
975 | ||
976 | A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost | |
977 | definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches | |
978 | (C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils> | |
979 | package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software | |
980 | repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at | |
981 | perlbug@perl.com will register you as a savior of the world. Your | |
982 | patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more | |
983 | detailed explanations about your fix. | |
984 | ||
985 | Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or | |
986 | B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or | |
987 | unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first | |
988 | argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument | |
989 | your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with | |
990 | the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the | |
991 | same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch | |
992 | really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports | |
993 | it). | |
994 | ||
995 | =item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report? | |
996 | ||
997 | B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes | |
998 | crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable | |
999 | to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose | |
1000 | the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email | |
1001 | it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. If, for some reason, you cannot run | |
1002 | C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output | |
1003 | produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V). | |
1004 | ||
bdcdfa19 | 1005 | Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make |
884baa66 JH |
1006 | your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is |
1007 | "perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help. | |
1008 | A compact description of what's wrong is fine. | |
bdcdfa19 | 1009 | |

1011 | ||
1012 | Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug | |
884baa66 | 1013 | is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers |
84902520 TB |
1014 | are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult |
1015 | to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply. | |
d121ca8c CS |
1016 | If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the |
1017 | C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted | |
1018 | the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any | |
1019 | flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released | |
1020 | version of perl comes out and your bug is still present. | |

1087 | supplied using B<-f>. Only prompts for a return address if it | |
1088 | cannot guess it (for use with B<make>). Honors return address | |
