37fa004c 940 -S Send without asking for confirmation.
941 -a Address to send the report to. Defaults to `$address'.
942 -c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to `$cc'.
943 -C Don't send copy to administrator.
55d729e4 944 -s Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted
37fa004c 945 if you don't supply one on the command line.
946 -b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or
947 in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the message.
948 -r Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm
949 this if you don't give it here.

CS
1015=head1 DESCRIPTION
1016
1017A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that
55d729e4 1018come with it, and mail them.
d121ca8c
CS
1019
1020If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part
1021of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a
1022non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
1023documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct
1024place to report bugs.
1025
1026C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments
1027will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts.
1028
1029If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have
1030a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to
7f2de2d2 1031compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might
d121ca8c
CS
1032find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case.
1033
1034In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through
1035this checklist:
1036
1037=over 4
1038
884baa66 1039=item What version of Perl you are running?
d121ca8c
CS
1040
1041Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out.
1042
1043=item Are you running the latest released version of perl?
1044
1045Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest
1046released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been
884baa66 1047fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially
d121ca8c
CS
1048those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears.
1049You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4.
1050
1051=item Are you sure what you have is a bug?
1052
1053A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented
884baa66 1054features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
d121ca8c 1055under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
884baa66 1056with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
d121ca8c
CS
1057it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant).
1058
1059Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues
1060fall into. See L<perltrap>.
1061
f27fa58d
MG
1062Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean.
1063If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl.
1064Consult your operating system documentation instead.
bdcdfa19 1065
1948c06a
CN
1066If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some
1067features may be unimplemented or work differently.
bdcdfa19 1068
884baa66 1069Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary.
d121ca8c
CS
1070See L<perldebug>.
1071
1072=item Do you have a proper test case?
1073
1074The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be
1075fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it.
1076A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number
1077of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or
1078libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting.
1079
1080A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl
1081test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so
1082that it will readily fit into the standard test suite.
1083
bdcdfa19
JH
1084Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any.
1085"Perl complained something" is not an exact error message.
1086
1087If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger
1088(B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug
1089report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info
1090(often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use
884baa66 1091because it will most probably contain only the function names and not
bdcdfa19
JH
1092their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and
1093reproduce the dump and the stack trace.
1094
d121ca8c
CS
1095=item Can you describe the bug in plain English?
1096
1097The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it
1098will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the
884baa66
JH
1099problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the
1100problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
d121ca8c
CS
1101
1102=item Can you fix the bug yourself?
1103
1104A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost
1105definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches
1106(C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils>
1107package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software
1108repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at
7f2de2d2 1109perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your
d121ca8c
CS
1110patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more
1111detailed explanations about your fix.
1112
1113Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or
1114B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or
1115unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first
1116argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument
1117your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with
1118the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the
1119same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch
1120really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports
1121it).
1122
1123=item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report?
1124
1125B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes
1126crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable
1127to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose
1128the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email
7f2de2d2 1129it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run
d121ca8c
CS
1130C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output
1131produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V).
1132
bdcdfa19 1133Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make
884baa66
JH
1134your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is
1135"perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help.
1136A compact description of what's wrong is fine.
bdcdfa19 1137

CS

1139
1140Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
884baa66 1141is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers
84902520
TB
1142are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult
1143to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply.
d121ca8c
CS
1144If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the
1145C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted
1146the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any
1147flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released
1148version of perl comes out and your bug is still present.
