CS
1018=head1 DESCRIPTION
1019
1020A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that
55d729e4 1021come with it, and mail them.
d121ca8c
CS
1022
1023If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part
1024of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a
1025non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
1026documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct
1027place to report bugs.
1028
1029C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments
1030will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts.
1031
1032If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have
1033a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to
7f2de2d2 1034compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might
d121ca8c
CS
1035find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case.
1036
1037In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through
1038this checklist:
1039
1040=over 4
1041
884baa66 1042=item What version of Perl you are running?
d121ca8c
CS
1043
1044Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out.
1045
1046=item Are you running the latest released version of perl?
1047
1048Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest
1049released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been
884baa66 1050fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially
d121ca8c
CS
1051those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears.
1052You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4.
1053
1054=item Are you sure what you have is a bug?
1055
1056A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented
884baa66 1057features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
d121ca8c 1058under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
884baa66 1059with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
d121ca8c
CS
1060it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant).
1061
1062Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues
1063fall into. See L<perltrap>.
1064
f27fa58d
MG
1065Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean.
1066If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl.
1067Consult your operating system documentation instead.
bdcdfa19 1068
1948c06a
CN
1069If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some
1070features may be unimplemented or work differently.
bdcdfa19 1071
884baa66 1072Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary.
d121ca8c
CS
1073See L<perldebug>.
1074
1075=item Do you have a proper test case?
1076
1077The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be
1078fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it.
1079A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number
1080of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or
1081libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting.
1082
1083A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl
1084test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so
1085that it will readily fit into the standard test suite.
1086
bdcdfa19
JH
1087Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any.
1088"Perl complained something" is not an exact error message.
1089
1090If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger
1091(B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug
1092report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info
1093(often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use
884baa66 1094because it will most probably contain only the function names and not
bdcdfa19
JH
1095their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and
1096reproduce the dump and the stack trace.
1097
d121ca8c
CS
1098=item Can you describe the bug in plain English?
1099
1100The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it
1101will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the
884baa66
JH
1102problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the
1103problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
d121ca8c
CS
1104
1105=item Can you fix the bug yourself?
1106
1107A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost
1108definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches
1109(C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils>
1110package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software
1111repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at
7f2de2d2 1112perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your
d121ca8c
CS
1113patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more
1114detailed explanations about your fix.
1115
1116Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or
1117B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or
1118unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first
1119argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument
1120your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with
1121the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the
1122same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch
1123really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports
1124it).
1125
1126=item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report?
1127
1128B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes
1129crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable
1130to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose
1131the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email
7f2de2d2 1132it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run
d121ca8c
CS
1133C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output
1134produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V).
1135
bdcdfa19 1136Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make
884baa66
JH
1137your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is
1138"perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help.
1139A compact description of what's wrong is fine.
bdcdfa19 1140
d121ca8c
CS
1141=back
1142
1143Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
884baa66 1144is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers
84902520
TB
1145are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult
1146to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply.
d121ca8c
CS
1147If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the
1148C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted
1149the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any
1150flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released
1151version of perl comes out and your bug is still present.
