+L<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 perl...@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 see
