Additions and patches to the core perl docs should go to the

I think that perlfaq patches should be directed at the
perl-documentation mailing list, where they're integrated into
a CVS repository, and later

Well, in fact, core doc patches should go to perl5-porters; this
list is for the FAQ pods (which are also duplicated on a separate CVS

bleadperl is updated from there by Jark
