926Options:
927
928 -v Include Verbose configuration data in the report
55d729e4 929 -f File containing the body of the report. Use this to

1948c06a 931 -F File to output the resulting mail message to, instead of mailing.
37fa004c 932 -S Send without asking for confirmation.
933 -a Address to send the report to. Defaults to `$address'.
934 -c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to `$cc'.
935 -C Don't send copy to administrator.
55d729e4 936 -s Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted
37fa004c 937 if you don't supply one on the command line.
938 -b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or

CS
999=head1 DESCRIPTION
1000
1001A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that
55d729e4 1002come with it, and mail them.
d121ca8c
CS
1003
1004If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part
1005of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a
1006non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
1007documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct
1008place to report bugs.
1009
1010C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments
1011will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts.
1012
1013If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have
1014a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to
7f2de2d2 1015compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might
d121ca8c
CS
1016find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case.
1017
1018In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through
1019this checklist:
1020
1021=over 4
1022
884baa66 1023=item What version of Perl you are running?
d121ca8c
CS
1024
1025Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out.
1026
1027=item Are you running the latest released version of perl?
1028
1029Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest
1030released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been
884baa66 1031fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially
d121ca8c
CS
1032those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears.
1033You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4.
1034
1035=item Are you sure what you have is a bug?
1036
1037A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented
884baa66 1038features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
d121ca8c 1039under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
884baa66 1040with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
d121ca8c
CS
1041it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant).
1042
1043Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues
1044fall into. See L<perltrap>.
1045
f27fa58d
MG
1046Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean.
1047If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl.
1048Consult your operating system documentation instead.
bdcdfa19 1049
1948c06a
CN
1050If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some
1051features may be unimplemented or work differently.
bdcdfa19 1052
884baa66 1053Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary.
d121ca8c
CS
1054See L<perldebug>.
1055
1056=item Do you have a proper test case?
1057
1058The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be
1059fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it.
1060A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number
1061of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or
1062libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting.
1063
1064A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl
1065test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so
1066that it will readily fit into the standard test suite.
1067
bdcdfa19
JH
1068Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any.
1069"Perl complained something" is not an exact error message.
1070
1071If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger
1072(B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug
1073report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info
1074(often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use
884baa66 1075because it will most probably contain only the function names and not
bdcdfa19
JH
1076their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and
1077reproduce the dump and the stack trace.
1078
d121ca8c
CS
1079=item Can you describe the bug in plain English?
1080
1081The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it
1082will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the
884baa66
JH
1083problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the
1084problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
d121ca8c
CS
1085
1086=item Can you fix the bug yourself?
1087
1088A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost
1089definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches
1090(C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils>
1091package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software
1092repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at
7f2de2d2 1093perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your
d121ca8c
CS
1094patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more
1095detailed explanations about your fix.
1096
1097Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or
1098B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or
1099unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first
1100argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument
1101your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with
1102the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the
1103same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch
1104really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports
1105it).
1106
1107=item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report?
1108
1109B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes
1110crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable
1111to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose
1112the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email
7f2de2d2 1113it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run
d121ca8c
CS
1114C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output
1115produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V).
1116
bdcdfa19 1117Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make
884baa66
JH
1118your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is
1119"perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help.
1120A compact description of what's wrong is fine.
bdcdfa19 1121

1123
1124Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
884baa66 1125is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers
84902520
TB
1126are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult
1127to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply.
d121ca8c
CS
1128If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the
1129C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted
1130the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any
1131flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released
1132version of perl comes out and your bug is still present.
