c07a80fd 868Simplest usage: run "$0", and follow the prompts.
37fa004c 869
870Options:
871
872 -v Include Verbose configuration data in the report
55d729e4 873 -f File containing the body of the report. Use this to
37fa004c 874 quickly send a prepared message.
1948c06a 875 -F File to output the resulting mail message to, instead of mailing.
37fa004c 876 -S Send without asking for confirmation.
877 -a Address to send the report to. Defaults to `$address'.
878 -c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to `$cc'.
879 -C Don't send copy to administrator.
55d729e4 880 -s Subject to include with the message. You will be prompted
37fa004c 881 if you don't supply one on the command line.
882 -b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or
883 in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the message.
884 -r Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm
885 this if you don't give it here.
55d729e4 886 -e Editor to use.
37fa004c 887 -t Test mode. The target address defaults to `$testaddress'.
1948c06a 888 -d Data mode (the default if you redirect or pipe output.)
c07a80fd 889 This prints out your configuration data, without mailing
890 anything. You can use this with -v to get more complete data.
84902520 891 -ok Report successful build on this system to perl porters
55d729e4 892 (use alone or with -v). Only use -ok if *everything* was ok:
893 if there were *any* problems at all, use -nok.
fb73857a 894 -okay As -ok but allow report from old builds.
55d729e4 895 -nok Report unsuccessful build on this system to perl porters
896 (use alone or with -v). You must describe what went wrong
897 in the body of the report which you will be asked to edit.

948
949A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that

952If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part
953of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a
954non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
955documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct
956place to report bugs.
957
958C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments
959will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts.
960
961If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have
962a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to
963compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. You might
964find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case.
965
966In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through
967this checklist:
968
969=over 4
970
884baa66 971=item What version of Perl you are running?
d121ca8c 972
973Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out.
974
975=item Are you running the latest released version of perl?
976
977Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest
978released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been
884baa66 979fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of Perl, especially
d121ca8c 980those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears.
981You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4.
982
983=item Are you sure what you have is a bug?
984
985A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented
884baa66 986features in Perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
d121ca8c 987under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
884baa66 988with Perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
d121ca8c 989it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant).
990
991Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues
992fall into. See L<perltrap>.
993
f27fa58d 994Check in L<perldiag> to see what any Perl error message(s) mean.
995If message isn't in perldiag, it probably isn't generated by Perl.
996Consult your operating system documentation instead.
bdcdfa19 997
1948c06a 998If you are on a non-UNIX platform check also L<perlport>, as some
999features may be unimplemented or work differently.
bdcdfa19 1000
884baa66 1001Try to study the problem under the Perl debugger, if necessary.
d121ca8c 1002See L<perldebug>.
1003
1004=item Do you have a proper test case?
1005
1006The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be
1007fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it.
1008A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number
1009of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or
1010libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting.
1011
1012A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl
1013test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so
1014that it will readily fit into the standard test suite.
1015
bdcdfa19 1016Remember also to include the B<exact> error messages, if any.
1017"Perl complained something" is not an exact error message.
1018
1019If you get a core dump (or equivalent), you may use a debugger
1020(B<dbx>, B<gdb>, etc) to produce a stack trace to include in the bug
1021report. NOTE: unless your Perl has been compiled with debug info
1022(often B<-g>), the stack trace is likely to be somewhat hard to use
884baa66 1023because it will most probably contain only the function names and not
bdcdfa19 1024their arguments. If possible, recompile your Perl with debug info and
1025reproduce the dump and the stack trace.
1026
d121ca8c 1027=item Can you describe the bug in plain English?
1028
1029The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it
1030will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the
884baa66 1031problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyze the
1032problem (to the extent you can) and report your discoveries.
d121ca8c 1033
1034=item Can you fix the bug yourself?
1035
1036A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost
1037definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches
1038(C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils>
1039package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software
1040repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at
1041perlbug@perl.com will register you as a savior of the world. Your
1042patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more
1043detailed explanations about your fix.
1044
1045Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or
1046B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or
1047unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first
1048argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument
1049your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with
1050the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the
1051same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch
1052really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports
1053it).
1054
1055=item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report?
1056
1057B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes
1058crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable
1059to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose
1060the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email
1061it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. If, for some reason, you cannot run
1062C<perlbug> at all on your system, be sure to include the entire output
1063produced by running C<perl -V> (note the uppercase V).
1064
bdcdfa19 1065Whether you use C<perlbug> or send the email manually, please make
884baa66 1066your Subject line informative. "a bug" not informative. Neither is
1067"perl crashes" nor "HELP!!!". These don't help.
1068A compact description of what's wrong is fine.
bdcdfa19 1069
d121ca8c 1070=back
1071
1072Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
884baa66 1073is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The Perl maintainers
84902520 1074are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is difficult
1075to understand or already known, they may not respond with a personal reply.
d121ca8c 1076If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the
1077C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted
1078the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any
1079flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released
1080version of perl comes out and your bug is still present.
