“You are the advocate of the dead.”
The old man nodded. “I am. People talk about being fair to this one and that
one, but nobody I ever heard talks about doing right by them. We take
everything they had, which is all right. And spit, most often, on their
opinions, which I suppose is all right too. But we ought to remember now and
then how much of what we have we got from them. I figure while I’m still here I
ought to put a word in for them.”

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 AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution.
We expect to release perl v5.22.1 in about a month, give or take. The next
major version of Perl 5, version 24.0, should appear in May 2016.
The first release of Perl 5's sister language, Perl 6, is expected around
Christmas 2015.
