|
|
L<perl5161delta>, which describes differences between 5.16.0 and
|
|
5.16.1.

Configure now always adds -qlanglvl=extc99 to the CC flags on AIX when
|
|
using xlC. This will make it easier to compile a number of XS-based modules
|
|
that assume C99 [perl #113778].

|
|

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.
|
|
|
|
For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors,
|
|
please see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.

|
=head1 Reporting Bugs
|
|
|
|
If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
|
|
recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
|
|
bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
|
|
information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
|
|
|
|
If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug>
|
|
program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
|
|
to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
|
|
output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
|
|
analysed by the Perl porting team.
|
|
|
|
If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
|
|
inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please
|
|
send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed
|
|
subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core
|
|
committers, who will be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure
|
|
out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to
|
|
mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is
|
|
supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl
|
|
core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN.
