d121ca8c CS |
955 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
956 | ||
957 | A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that | |
55d729e4 | 958 | come with it, and mail them. |
d121ca8c CS |
959 | |
960 | If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part | |
961 | of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a | |
962 | non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the | |
963 | documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct | |
964 | place to report bugs. | |
965 | ||
966 | C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments | |
967 | will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts. | |
968 | ||
969 | If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have | |
970 | a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to | |
7f2de2d2 | 971 | compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might |
d121ca8c CS |
972 | find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case. |
973 | ||
974 | In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through | |
975 | this checklist: | |
976 | ||
977 | =over 4 | |
978 | ||
884baa66 | 979 | =item What version of Perl you are running? |
d121ca8c CS |
980 | |
981 | Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out. | |
982 | ||
983 | =item Are you running the latest released version of perl? | |
984 | ||
985 | Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest | |
986 | released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been | |
884baa66 | 987 | fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially |
d121ca8c CS |
988 | those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears. |
989 | You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4. | |
990 | ||
991 | =item Are you sure what you have is a bug? | |
992 | ||
993 | A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented | |
884baa66 | 994 | features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall |
d121ca8c | 995 | under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes |
884baa66 | 996 | with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of |
d121ca8c CS |
997 | it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant). |
998 | ||
999 | Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues | |
1000 | fall into. See L<perltrap>. | |
1001 | ||
f27fa58d MG |
1002 | Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean. |
1003 | If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl. | |
1004 | Consult your operating system documentation instead. | |
bdcdfa19 | 1005 | |
1948c06a CN |
1006 | If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some |
1007 | features may be unimplemented or work differently. | |
bdcdfa19 | 1008 | |
884baa66 | 1009 | Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary. |
d121ca8c CS |
1010 | See L<perldebug>. |
1011 | ||
1012 | =item Do you have a proper test case? | |
1013 | ||
1014 | The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be | |
1015 | fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it. | |
1016 | A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number | |
1017 | of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or | |
1018 | libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting. | |
1019 | ||
1020 | A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl | |
1021 | test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so | |
1022 | that it will readily fit into the standard test suite. | |
1023 | ||
bdcdfa19 JH |
1024 | Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any. |
1025 | "Perl complained something" is not an exact error message. | |
1026 | ||
1027 | If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger | |
1028 | (B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug | |
1029 | report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info | |
1030 | (often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use | |
884baa66 | 1031 | because it will most probably contain only the function names and not |
bdcdfa19 JH |
1032 | their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and |
1033 | reproduce the dump and the stack trace. | |
1034 | ||
d121ca8c CS |
1035 | =item Can you describe the bug in plain English? |
1036 | ||
1037 | The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it | |
1038 | will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the | |
884baa66 JH |
1039 | problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the |
1040 | problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries. | |
d121ca8c CS |
1041 | |
1042 | =item Can you fix the bug yourself? | |
1043 | ||
1044 | A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost | |
1045 | definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches | |
1046 | (C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils> | |
1047 | package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software | |
1048 | repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at | |
7f2de2d2 | 1049 | perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your |
d121ca8c CS |
1050 | patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more |
1051 | detailed explanations about your fix. | |
1052 | ||
1053 | Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or | |
1054 | B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or | |
1055 | unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first | |
1056 | argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument | |
1057 | your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with | |
1058 | the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the | |
1059 | same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch | |
1060 | really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports | |
1061 | it). | |
1062 | ||
1063 | =item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report? | |
1064 | ||
1065 | B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes | |
1066 | crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable | |
1067 | to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose | |
1068 | the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email | |
7f2de2d2 | 1069 | it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run |
d121ca8c CS |
1070 | C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output |
1071 | produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V). | |
1072 | ||
bdcdfa19 | 1073 | Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make |
884baa66 JH |
1074 | your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is |
1075 | "perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help. | |
1076 | A compact description of what's wrong is fine. | |
bdcdfa19 | 1077 | |
d121ca8c CS |
1078 | =back |
1079 | ||
1080 | Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug | |
884baa66 | 1081 | is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers |
84902520 TB |
1082 | are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult |
1083 | to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply. | |
d121ca8c CS |
1084 | If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the |
1085 | C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted | |
1086 | the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any | |
1087 | flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released | |
1088 | version of perl comes out and your bug is still present. | |

d121ca8c | 1097 | |
890b8eb0 NC |
1098 | =item B<-A> |
1099 | ||
1100 | Don't send a bug received acknowledgement to the reply address. | |

1104 | ||
d121ca8c CS |
1105 | =item B<-b> |
1106 | ||
1107 | Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or | |

1109 | ||
1110 | =item B<-C> | |
1111 | ||
1112 | Don't send copy to administrator. | |
1113 | ||
1114 | =item B<-c> | |
1115 | ||
1116 | Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to the address of the | |
1117 | local perl administrator (recorded when perl was built). | |
1118 | ||
1119 | =item B<-d> | |
1120 | ||
1121 | Data mode (the default if you redirect or pipe output). This prints out | |
1122 | your configuration data, without mailing anything. You can use this | |
1123 | with B<-v> to get more complete data. | |
1124 | ||
1125 | =item B<-e> | |
1126 | ||
55d729e4 | 1127 | Editor to use. |
d121ca8c CS |
1128 | |
1129 | =item B<-f> | |
1130 | ||
1131 | File containing the body of the report. Use this to quickly send a | |
1132 | prepared message. | |
1133 | ||
105f9295 HS |
1134 | =item B<-F> |
1135 | ||
1136 | File to output the results to instead of sending as an email. Useful | |
1137 | particularly when running perlbug on a machine with no direct internet | |
1138 | connection. | |
1139 | ||
d121ca8c CS |
1140 | =item B<-h> |

1b0e3b9e | 1148 | prompts for a return address if it cannot guess it (for use with |
84902520 TB |
1149 | B<make>). Honors return address specified with B<-r>. You can use this |
1150 | with B<-v> to get more complete data. Only makes a report if this | |

1158 | ||
1159 | Report unsuccessful build on this system. Forces B<-C>. Forces and | |
1160 | supplies a value for B<-s>, then requires you to edit the report | |
1161 | and say what went wrong. Alternatively, a prepared report may be | |
1162 | supplied using B<-f>. Only prompts for a return address if it | |
1163 | cannot guess it (for use with B<make>). Honors return address | |
1164 | specified with B<-r>. You can use this with B<-v> to get more | |
1165 | complete data. Only makes a report if this system is less than 60 | |
