Lvalue subroutines and subroutines in the CORE:: +namespace were allowing this implementation detail to leak through. +C<print &CORE::uc("a"), &CORE::uc("b")> used to print "BB".

The following people are known to +have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.16.1: + +Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Father Chrysostomos, Karl +Williamson, Paul Johnson, Reini Urban, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook. + +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 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected]. 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.
