 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 _A_U_T_H_O_R_S file in the Perl source distribution.

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

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

 If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
 inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see "SECURITY
 VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION" in perlsec for details of how to
 report the issue.
