Alexandr Ciornii had the bright idea of making perlbug ask for a module
name, in an attempt to pre-emptively deflect non-core bug reports. Hence:
If your bug is about a Perl module rather than a core language
feature, please enter its name here. If it's not, just hit Enter
to skip this question.
Module: DBI
DBI is not a "core" Perl module. Please check that you entered
its name correctly. If it is correct, quit this program, try
searching for DBI on http://rt.cpan.org, and report your issue
there.
If your bug is about a Perl module rather than a core language
feature, please enter its name here. If it's not, just hit Enter
to skip this question.
I've just pushed 4 commits (0accdd48ba097069ed72ce592d307484b9284ba7 to
e1ae7bac59dc665dbcf504f414286127af684b23) which adds a second feature:
If your bug is about a Perl module rather than a core language
feature, please enter its name here. If it's not, just hit Enter
to skip this question.
Module: Test::Harness
Test::Harness included with core Perl is copied directly from
the CPAN distribution. Please report bugs in Test::Harness
directly to its maintainers using
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Test-Harness
If your bug is about a Perl module rather than a core language
feature, please enter its name here. If it's not, just hit Enter
to skip this question.
Module: Test::Builder
Test::Builder included with core Perl is copied directly from
the CPAN distribution. Please report bugs in Test::Builder
directly to its maintainers using http://code.google.com/p/test-
more/issues
If your bug is about a Perl module rather than a core language
feature, please enter its name here. If it's not, just hit Enter
to skip this question.
Module: B::Concise
Please pick a severity from the following list:
critical high medium low wishlist none
Severity [low]:
It adds a mapping hash, currently in Module::CoreList (no documentation or
API yet, is this the right place anyway?), which translates module names to
the URL of upstream bug trackers, where known. "where known" is currently
from Porting/corelist.pl being pointed at CPAN mirror, mapping module names
to distribution tarballs, distribution tarball paths to META.yml filenames,
and META.yml contents to
resources:
homepage: http://www.perl.org/
bugtracker: http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/
license: http://dev.perl.org/licenses/
bugtracker!
It's not perfect. There's a lot of bug tracking that it doesn't know about,
and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to guess the type of bug tracker
wanted for other dual life modules, leave it as is, or get the mechanical
turk (or a sufficiently advanced regular expression) to read all the module
files looking for sections about "how to report bugs".
What do people think? You can see what it does know about at
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/0accdd48:/lib/Module/CoreList.pm#l9542
