927It is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments will

929
930Usage:
931$0 [-v] [-a address] [-s subject] [-b body | -f inpufile ] [ -F outputfile ]
932 [-r returnaddress] [-e editor] [-c adminaddress | -C] [-S] [-t] [-h]
933$0 [-v] [-r returnaddress] [-A] [-ok | -okay | -nok | -nokay]
934
935Simplest usage: run "$0", and follow the prompts.
936
937Options:
938
939 -v Include Verbose configuration data in the report
940 -f File containing the body of the report. Use this to
941 quickly send a prepared message.
942 -F File to output the resulting mail message to, instead of mailing.
943 -S Send without asking for confirmation.
944 -a Address to send the report to. Defaults to `$address'.
945 -c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to `$cc'.
946 -C Don't send copy to administrator.
947 -s Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted
948 if you don't supply one on the command line.
949 -b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or
950 in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the message.
951 -r Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm
952 this if you don't give it here.
953 -e Editor to use.
954 -t Test mode. The target address defaults to `$testaddress'.
955 -d Data mode. This prints out your configuration data, without mailing
956 anything. You can use this with -v to get more complete data.
957 -A Don't send a bug received acknowledgement to the return address.
958 -ok Report successful build on this system to perl porters
959 (use alone or with -v). Only use -ok if *everything* was ok:
960 if there were *any* problems at all, use -nok.
961 -okay As -ok but allow report from old builds.
962 -nok Report unsuccessful build on this system to perl porters
963 (use alone or with -v). You must describe what went wrong
964 in the body of the report which you will be asked to edit.
965 -nokay As -nok but allow report from old builds.
966 -h Print this help message.

1017
1018=head1 DESCRIPTION
1019
1020A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that
1021come with it, and mail them.
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
1034compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might
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
1042=item What version of Perl you are running?
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
1050fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially
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
1057features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
1058under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
1059with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
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
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.
1068
1069If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some
1070features may be unimplemented or work differently.
1071
1072Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary.
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
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
1094because it will most probably contain only the function names and not
1095their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and
1096reproduce the dump and the stack trace.
1097
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
1102problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the
1103problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
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
1112perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your
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
1132it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run
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
1136Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make
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.

1142
1143Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
1144is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers
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.
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.

1153=head1 OPTIONS
1154
1155=over 8
1156
1157=item B<-a>
1158
1159Address to send the report to. Defaults to B<perlbug@perl.org>.
1160
1161=item B<-A>
1162
1163Don't send a bug received acknowledgement to the reply address.
1164Generally it is only a sensible to use this option if you are a
1165perl maintainer actively watching perl porters for your message to
1166arrive.
1167
1168=item B<-b>
1169
1170Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or
1171in a file with B<-f>, you will get a chance to edit the message.
1172
1173=item B<-C>
1174
1175Don't send copy to administrator.
1176
1177=item B<-c>
1178
1179Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to the address of the
1180local perl administrator (recorded when perl was built).
1181
1182=item B<-d>
1183
1184Data mode (the default if you redirect or pipe output). This prints out
1185your configuration data, without mailing anything. You can use this
1186with B<-v> to get more complete data.
1187
1188=item B<-e>
1189
1190Editor to use.
1191
1192=item B<-f>
1193
1194File containing the body of the report. Use this to quickly send a
1195prepared message.
1196
1197=item B<-F>
1198
1199File to output the results to instead of sending as an email. Useful
1200particularly when running perlbug on a machine with no direct internet
1201connection.
1202
1203=item B<-h>
1204
1205Prints a brief summary of the options.
1206
1207=item B<-ok>
1208
1209Report successful build on this system to perl porters. Forces B<-S>
1210and B<-C>. Forces and supplies values for B<-s> and B<-b>. Only
1211prompts for a return address if it cannot guess it (for use with
1212B<make>). Honors return address specified with B<-r>. You can use this
1213with B<-v> to get more complete data. Only makes a report if this
1214system is less than 60 days old.
1215
1216=item B<-okay>
1217
1218As B<-ok> except it will report on older systems.
1219
1220=item B<-nok>
1221
1222Report unsuccessful build on this system. Forces B<-C>. Forces and
1223supplies a value for B<-s>, then requires you to edit the report
1224and say what went wrong. Alternatively, a prepared report may be
1225supplied using B<-f>. Only prompts for a return address if it
1226cannot guess it (for use with B<make>). Honors return address
1227specified with B<-r>. You can use this with B<-v> to get more
1228complete data. Only makes a report if this system is less than 60
1229days old.
1230
1231=item B<-nokay>
1232
1233As B<-nok> except it will report on older systems.
1234
1235=item B<-r>
1236
1237Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm its default
1238if you don't use this option.
1239
1240=item B<-S>
1241
1242Send without asking for confirmation.
1243
1244=item B<-s>
1245
1246Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted if you don't
1247supply one on the command line.
1248
1249=item B<-t>
1250
1251Test mode. The target address defaults to B<perlbug-test@perl.org>.
1252
1253=item B<-v>
1254
1255Include verbose configuration data in the report.
