56 | The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a |
57 | future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN. | |
58 | Distributions on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as | |
59 | prerequisites. | |
cd7bac54 | 60 | |
a9c3e753 S |
61 | The core versions of these modules will now issue C<"deprecated">-category |
62 | warnings to alert you to this fact. To silence these deprecation warnings, | |
63 | install the modules in question from CPAN. | |
541e1e0d | 64 | |
a9c3e753 S |
65 | Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged |
66 | to continue to use. Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their | |
67 | necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation, | |
68 | not usually on concerns over their design. | |

e08634c5 SH |
546 | If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently |
547 | posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at | |
238894db | 548 | https://rt.perl.org/ . There may also be information at |
7ef8b31d | 549 | http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. |

551 | If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program |
552 | included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but | |
553 | sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>, | |
554 | will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. | |
44691e6f AB |
555 | |
556 | If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it | |
e08634c5 SH |
557 | inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it |
558 | to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription | |
559 | unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be | |
560 | able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help | |
f9001595 | 561 | co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all |
e08634c5 SH |
562 | platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for |
563 | security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on | |
564 | CPAN. | |
