+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+A program to help generate bug reports about perl or the modules that
+come with it, and mail them.
+
+If you have found a bug with a non-standard port (one that was not part
+of the I<standard distribution>), a binary distribution, or a
+non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
+documentation that came with that distribution to determine the correct
+place to report bugs.
+
+C<perlbug> is designed to be used interactively. Normally no arguments
+will be needed. Simply run it, and follow the prompts.
+
+If you are unable to run B<perlbug> (most likely because you don't have
+a working setup to send mail that perlbug recognizes), you may have to
+compose your own report, and email it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. You might
+find the B<-d> option useful to get summary information in that case.
+
+In any case, when reporting a bug, please make sure you have run through
+this checklist:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item What version of perl you are running?
+
+Type C<perl -v> at the command line to find out.
+
+=item Are you running the latest released version of perl?
+
+Look at http://www.perl.com/ to find out. If it is not the latest
+released version, get that one and see whether your bug has been
+fixed. Note that bug reports about old versions of perl, especially
+those prior to the 5.0 release, are likely to fall upon deaf ears.
+You are on your own if you continue to use perl1 .. perl4.
+
+=item Are you sure what you have is a bug?
+
+A significant number of the bug reports we get turn out to be documented
+features in perl. Make sure the behavior you are witnessing doesn't fall
+under that category, by glancing through the documentation that comes
+with perl (we'll admit this is no mean task, given the sheer volume of
+it all, but at least have a look at the sections that I<seem> relevant).
+
+Be aware of the familiar traps that perl programmers of various hues
+fall into. See L<perltrap>.
+
+Try to study the problem under the perl debugger, if necessary.
+See L<perldebug>.
+
+=item Do you have a proper test case?
+
+The easier it is to reproduce your bug, the more likely it will be
+fixed, because if no one can duplicate the problem, no one can fix it.
+A good test case has most of these attributes: fewest possible number
+of lines; few dependencies on external commands, modules, or
+libraries; runs on most platforms unimpeded; and is self-documenting.
+
+A good test case is almost always a good candidate to be on the perl
+test suite. If you have the time, consider making your test case so
+that it will readily fit into the standard test suite.
+
+=item Can you describe the bug in plain English?
+
+The easier it is to understand a reproducible bug, the more likely it
+will be fixed. Anything you can provide by way of insight into the
+problem helps a great deal. In other words, try to analyse the
+problem to the extent you feel qualified and report your discoveries.
+
+=item Can you fix the bug yourself?
+
+A bug report which I<includes a patch to fix it> will almost
+definitely be fixed. Use the C<diff> program to generate your patches
+(C<diff> is being maintained by the GNU folks as part of the B<diffutils>
+package, so you should be able to get it from any of the GNU software
+repositories). If you do submit a patch, the cool-dude counter at
+perlbug@perl.com will register you as a savior of the world. Your
+patch may be returned with requests for changes, or requests for more
+detailed explanations about your fix.
+
+Here are some clues for creating quality patches: Use the B<-c> or
+B<-u> switches to the diff program (to create a so-called context or
+unified diff). Make sure the patch is not reversed (the first
+argument to diff is typically the original file, the second argument
+your changed file). Make sure you test your patch by applying it with
+the C<patch> program before you send it on its way. Try to follow the
+same style as the code you are trying to patch. Make sure your patch
+really does work (C<make test>, if the thing you're patching supports
+it).
+
+=item Can you use C<perlbug> to submit the report?
+
+B<perlbug> will, amongst other things, ensure your report includes
+crucial information about your version of perl. If C<perlbug> is unable
+to mail your report after you have typed it in, you may have to compose
+the message yourself, add the output produced by C<perlbug -d> and email
+it to B<perlbug@perl.com>. If, for some reason, you cannot run

+Having done your bit, please be prepared to wait, to be told the bug
+is in your code, or even to get no reply at all. The perl maintainers
+are busy folks, so if your problem is a small one or if it is
+difficult to understand, they may not respond with a personal reply.
+If it is important to you that your bug be fixed, do monitor the
+C<Changes> file in any development releases since the time you submitted
+the bug, and encourage the maintainers with kind words (but never any
+flames!). Feel free to resend your bug report if the next released
+version of perl comes out and your bug is still present.
