Contributing to perl

There are several documents trying to help you on your way to contribute to our project, including pod/perlhack.pod, pod/perlhacktips.pod and pod/perlhacktut.pod.

Please be mindful of CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md and AI_POLICY.md.

In brief:

  • Before opening any non-trivial pull request, open an issue first. New syntax and features should definitely be discussed in advance, with many of these likely to have to go through the PPC process before any PR will be accepted. Starting to code before there's agreement on how to approach something often leads to wasted effort.

  • Be sure run make test before opening a PR, or make -j$(nproc) test_harness TEST_JOBS=$(nproc) if you're in a hurry.

  • If this is your first contribution, please don't forget to run perl Porting/updateAUTHORS.pl after committing (and committing the result), otherwise the AUTHOR file tests will start failing.
