first of all - thanks for your willingness to contribute - and welcome aboard!
I hope you enjoy contributing to the perl 5 core.

Do you mean Porting/todo.pod -
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/Porting/todo.pod ? If so, I
personally cannot answer this question as I wasn't really aware of that TODO
list until now (heh!). Anyway, you can try building bleadperl from git on your
system, or "smoke-test" perl 5 there: https://metacpan.org/release/Test-Smoke
and https://github.com/abeltje/Test-Smoke .

You can also try to reproduce bugs (and see if their fixes help) on
http://rt.perl.org/ . Other people here may better enlighten you.
