+=head1 STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

+The official forum for the development of perl is the perl5-porters mailing
+list, mentioned above, and its bugtracker at rt.perl.org.  All participants in
+discussion there are expected to adhere to a standard of conduct.

+
+Civility is simple:  stick to the facts while avoiding demeaning remarks and
+sarcasm.  It is not enough to be factual.  You must also be civil.  Responding
+in kind to incivility is not acceptable.
+
+If the list moderators tell you that you are not being civil, carefully
+consider how your words have appeared before responding in any way.  You may
+protest, but repeated protest in the face of a repeatedly reaffirmed decision
+is not acceptable.
+
+Unacceptable behavior will result in a public and clearly identified warning.
+Repeated unacceptable behavior will result in removal from the mailing list.
+The first removal is for one month.  Subsequent removals will double in length.
+After six months with no warning, a user's ban length is reset.  Removals, like
+warnings, are public.
+
+The list of moderators will be public knowledge.  At present, it is: Ricardo
+Signes.
