| =head1 Acknowledgements | |
| Perl 5.30.2 represents approximately 4 months of development since Perl 5.30.1 | |
| and contains approximately 2,100 lines of changes across 110 files from 15 | |
| authors. | |
| Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were | |
| approximately 920 lines of changes to 30 .pm, .t, .c and .h files. | |
| Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community | |
| of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed | |
| the improvements that became Perl 5.30.2: | |
| Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dan Book, David Mitchell, Hugo van der Sanden, Karen | |
| Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Matthew Horsfall, Nicolas R., Petr Písař, Renee | |
| Baecker, Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Tomasz Konojacki, Tony Cook, Yves Orton. | |
| 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 | |

| =head1 Reporting Bugs | |
| If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database at | |
| L<https://rt.perl.org/>. There may also be information at | |
| L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page. | |
| If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at | |
| L<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 L<perlsec/SECURITY | |
| VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION> for details of how to report the issue. | |
