Bug Tracker

The Perl Bug Tracker and the Perl Request Tracker (RT) are the places to go to check if the anomaly you have encountered has already been recorded as a Perl or Perl module bug and, if not, you can lodge a bug report (see How do I create a bug report) so that it can be fixed. Even better, lodge a patch if you can (see Creating A Patch) with the bug report.
