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.
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.
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
90 The F<Changes> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on
93 The F<INSTALL> file for how to build Perl.
95 The F<README> file for general stuff.
