perlbug version 1.43
This program is designed to help you generate bug reports
(and thank-you notes) about perl5 and the modules which ship with it.
In most cases, you can just run "/usr/bin/perlbug" interactively from a command
line without any special arguments and follow the prompts.
Advanced usage:
/usr/bin/perlbug [-v] [-a address] [-s subject] [-b body | -f inpufile ] [ -F outputfile ]
[-r returnaddress] [-e editor] [-c adminaddress | -C] [-S] [-t] [-h]
[-p patchfile ]
/usr/bin/perlbug [-v] [-r returnaddress] [-ok | -okay | -nok | -nokay]
Options:
-v Include Verbose configuration data in the report
-f File containing the body of the report. Use this to
quickly send a prepared report.
-p File containing a patch or other text attachment. Separate
multiple files with commas.
-F File to output the resulting report to. Defaults to
'perlbug.rep'.
-S Save or send the report without asking for confirmation.
-a Send the report to this address, instead of saving to a file.
-c Address to send copy of report to. Defaults to 'Wolfi GNU/Linux@chainguard.nonet'.
-C Don't send copy to administrator.
-s Subject to include with the report. You will be prompted
if you don't supply one on the command line.
-b Body of the report. If not included on the command line, or
in a file with -f, you will get a chance to edit the report.
-r Your return address. The program will ask you to confirm
this if you don't give it here.
-e Editor to use.
-t Test mode.
-T Thank-you mode. The target address defaults to 'perl-thanks@perl.org'.
-d Data mode. This prints out your configuration data, without mailing
anything. You can use this with -v to get more complete data.
-ok Report successful build on this system to perl porters
(use alone or with -v). Only use -ok if *everything* was ok:
if there were *any* problems at all, use -nok.
-okay As -ok but allow report from old builds.
-nok Report unsuccessful build on this system to perl porters
(use alone or with -v). You must describe what went wrong
in the body of the report which you will be asked to edit.
-nokay As -nok but allow report from old builds.
-h Print this help message.
