49The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
50from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
51the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
52tracker.
53
54Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
55included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
56helping Perl to flourish.
