929 | |
930 | Options: |
931 | |
932 | -v Include Verbose configuration data in the report |
55d729e4 |
933 | -f File containing the body of the report. Use this to |
37fa004c |
934 | quickly send a prepared message. |
1948c06a |
935 | -F File to output the resulting mail message to, instead of mailing. |
37fa004c |
936 | -S Send without asking for confirmation. |
937 | -a Address to send the report to. Defaults to `$address'. |
938 | -c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to `$cc'. |
939 | -C Don't send copy to administrator. |
55d729e4 |
940 | -s Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted |
37fa004c |
941 | if you don't supply one on the command line. |
942 | -b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or |
943 | in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the message. |
944 | -r Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm |
945 | this if you don't give it here. |
55d729e4 |
946 | -e Editor to use. |
37fa004c |
947 | -t Test mode. The target address defaults to `$testaddress'. |

d121ca8c |
1011 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
1012 | |
1013 | A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that |
55d729e4 |
1014 | come with it, and mail them. |
d121ca8c |
1015 | |
1016 | If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part |
1017 | of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a |
1018 | non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the |
1019 | documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct |
1020 | place to report bugs. |
1021 | |
1022 | C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments |
1023 | will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts. |
1024 | |
1025 | If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have |
1026 | a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to |
7f2de2d2 |
1027 | compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. You might |
d121ca8c |
1028 | find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case. |
1029 | |
1030 | In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through |
1031 | this checklist: |
1032 | |
1033 | =over 4 |
1034 | |
884baa66 |
1035 | =item What version of Perl you are running? |
d121ca8c |
1036 | |
1037 | Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out. |
1038 | |
1039 | =item Are you running the latest released version of perl? |
1040 | |
1041 | Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest |
1042 | released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been |
884baa66 |
1043 | fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially |
d121ca8c |
1044 | those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears. |
1045 | You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4. |
1046 | |
1047 | =item Are you sure what you have is a bug? |
1048 | |
1049 | A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented |
884baa66 |
1050 | features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall |
d121ca8c |
1051 | under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes |
884baa66 |
1052 | with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of |
d121ca8c |
1053 | it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant). |
1054 | |
1055 | Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues |
1056 | fall into. See L<perltrap>. |
1057 | |
f27fa58d |
1058 | Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean. |
1059 | If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl. |
1060 | Consult your operating system documentation instead. |
bdcdfa19 |
1061 | |
1948c06a |
1062 | If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some |
1063 | features may be unimplemented or work differently. |
bdcdfa19 |
1064 | |
884baa66 |
1065 | Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary. |
d121ca8c |
1066 | See L<perldebug>. |
1067 | |
1068 | =item Do you have a proper test case? |
1069 | |
1070 | The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be |
1071 | fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it. |
1072 | A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number |
1073 | of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or |
1074 | libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting. |
1075 | |
1076 | A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl |
1077 | test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so |
1078 | that it will readily fit into the standard test suite. |
1079 | |
bdcdfa19 |
1080 | Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any. |
1081 | "Perl complained something" is not an exact error message. |
1082 | |
1083 | If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger |
1084 | (B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug |
1085 | report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info |
1086 | (often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use |
884baa66 |
1087 | because it will most probably contain only the function names and not |
bdcdfa19 |
1088 | their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and |
1089 | reproduce the dump and the stack trace. |
1090 | |
d121ca8c |
1091 | =item Can you describe the bug in plain English? |
1092 | |
1093 | The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it |
1094 | will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the |
884baa66 |
1095 | problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the |
1096 | problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries. |
d121ca8c |
1097 | |
1098 | =item Can you fix the bug yourself? |
1099 | |
1100 | A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost |
1101 | definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches |
1102 | (C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils> |
1103 | package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software |
1104 | repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at |
7f2de2d2 |
1105 | perlbug@perl.org will register you as a savior of the world. Your |
d121ca8c |
1106 | patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more |
1107 | detailed explanations about your fix. |
1108 | |
1109 | Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or |
1110 | B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or |
1111 | unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first |
1112 | argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument |
1113 | your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with |
1114 | the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the |
1115 | same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch |
1116 | really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports |
1117 | it). |
1118 | |
1119 | =item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report? |
1120 | |
1121 | B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes |
1122 | crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable |
1123 | to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose |
1124 | the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email |
7f2de2d2 |
1125 | it to B<perlbug@perl.org>. If, for some reason, you cannot run |
d121ca8c |
1126 | C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output |
1127 | produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V). |
1128 | |
bdcdfa19 |
1129 | Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make |
884baa66 |
1130 | your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is |
1131 | "perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help. |
1132 | A compact description of what's wrong is fine. |
bdcdfa19 |
1133 | |
d121ca8c |
1134 | =back |
1135 | |
1136 | Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug |
884baa66 |
1137 | is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers |
84902520 |
1138 | are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult |
1139 | to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply. |
d121ca8c |
1140 | If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the |
1141 | C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted |
1142 | the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any |
1143 | flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released |
1144 | version of perl comes out and your bug is still present. |

1152 | Address to send the report to. Defaults to B<perlbug@perl.org>. |
d121ca8c |
1153 | |
890b8eb0 |
1154 | =item B<-A> |
1155 | |
1156 | Don't send a bug received acknowledgement to the reply address. |
1157 | Generally it is only a sensible to use this option if you are a |
1158 | perl maintainer actively watching perl porters for your message to |
1159 | arrive. |
1160 | |
d121ca8c |
1161 | =item B<-b> |
1162 | |
1163 | Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or |
1164 | in a file with B<-f>, you will get a chance to edit the message. |
1165 | |
1166 | =item B<-C> |
1167 | |
1168 | Don't send copy to administrator. |
1169 | |
1170 | =item B<-c> |
1171 | |
1172 | Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to the address of the |
1173 | local perl administrator (recorded when perl was built). |
1174 | |
1175 | =item B<-d> |
1176 | |
1177 | Data mode (the default if you redirect or pipe output). This prints out |
1178 | your configuration data, without mailing anything. You can use this |
1179 | with B<-v> to get more complete data. |
1180 | |
1181 | =item B<-e> |
1182 | |
55d729e4 |
1183 | Editor to use. |
d121ca8c |
1184 | |
1185 | =item B<-f> |
1186 | |
1187 | File containing the body of the report. Use this to quickly send a |
1188 | prepared message. |
1189 | |
105f9295 |
1190 | =item B<-F> |
1191 | |
1192 | File to output the results to instead of sending as an email. Useful |
1193 | particularly when running perlbug on a machine with no direct internet |
1194 | connection. |
1195 | |
d121ca8c |
1196 | =item B<-h> |
1197 | |
1198 | Prints a brief summary of the options. |
1199 | |

1200 | =item B<-ok> |
1201 | |
84902520 |
1202 | Report successful build on this system to perl porters. Forces B<-S> |
1203 | and B<-C>. Forces and supplies values for B<-s> and B<-b>. Only |
1b0e3b9e |
1204 | prompts for a return address if it cannot guess it (for use with |
84902520 |
1205 | B<make>). Honors return address specified with B<-r>. You can use this |
1206 | with B<-v> to get more complete data. Only makes a report if this |
1207 | system is less than 60 days old. |
1208 | |
1209 | =item B<-okay> |
1210 | |
1211 | As B<-ok> except it will report on older systems. |
1b0e3b9e |
1212 | |
55d729e4 |
1213 | =item B<-nok> |
1214 | |
1215 | Report unsuccessful build on this system. Forces B<-C>. Forces and |
1216 | supplies a value for B<-s>, then requires you to edit the report |
1217 | and say what went wrong. Alternatively, a prepared report may be |
1218 | supplied using B<-f>. Only prompts for a return address if it |
1219 | cannot guess it (for use with B<make>). Honors return address |
1220 | specified with B<-r>. You can use this with B<-v> to get more |
1221 | complete data. Only makes a report if this system is less than 60 |
1222 | days old. |
1223 | |
1224 | =item B<-nokay> |
1225 | |
1226 | As B<-nok> except it will report on older systems. |
1227 | |
d121ca8c |
1228 | =item B<-r> |
1229 | |
1230 | Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm its default |
1231 | if you don't use this option. |
1232 | |
1233 | =item B<-S> |
1234 | |
1235 | Send without asking for confirmation. |
1236 | |
1237 | =item B<-s> |
1238 | |
1239 | Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted if you don't |
1240 | supply one on the command line. |
1241 | |
1242 | =item B<-t> |
1243 | |
3e79b69b |
1244 | Test mode. The target address defaults to B<perlbug-test@perl.org>. |
