=head1 Acknowledgements

Perl 5.34.1 represents approximately 10 months of development since Perl 5.34.0
and contains approximately 4,600 lines of changes across 60 files from 23
authors.

Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
approximately 1,100 lines of changes to 18 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.

Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community
of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the
improvements that became Perl 5.34.1:

Andrew Fresh, Atsushi Sugawara, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dan Book, Hugo van der
Sanden, James E Keenan, Karen Etheridge, Leon Timmermans, Matthew Horsfall, Max
Maischein, Michiel Beijen, Neil Bowers, Nicolas R., Paul Evans, Renee Baecker,
Ricardo Signes, Richard Leach, Sawyer X, Sergey Poznyakoff, Steve Hay, Tomasz
Konojacki, Tony Cook, Yves Orton.

The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
tracker.

Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
helping Perl to flourish.

For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see
the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.

=head1 Reporting Bugs

If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database
at L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>.  There may also be information at
L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page.

If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at
L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>.  Be sure to trim your bug down to a
tiny but sufficient test case.

inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see
L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION>
for details of how to report the issue.
