| 66 | =head1 Reporting Bugs |
| 67 | |
| 68 | If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently |
| 69 | posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at |
| 70 | https://rt.perl.org/ . There may also be information at |
| 71 | http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program |
| 74 | included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but |
| 75 | sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>, |
| 76 | will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it |
| 79 | inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it |
| 80 | to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription |
| 81 | unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be |
| 82 | able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help |
| 83 | co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all |
| 84 | platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for |
| 85 | security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on |
| 86 | CPAN. |
