=head1 NAME Getting Help with mod_perl 2.0 Core Development =head1 Description This document covers the resources available to the mod_perl 2.0 core developer. Please notice that you probably want to read the L if you have problems using mod_perl 2.0. The following mailing lists and resources can be of a major interest to the mod_perl 2.0 developers. =head1 mod_perl =head2 Submitting Patches If you submit patches the I manpage can be very useful. You can find it I or similar or read it online at http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Misc/perl-5.6.1/Porting/patching.html. Note that we prefer the patches inlined into an email. This makes easier to comment on them. If your email client mangles the spacing and wraps lines, then send them as MIME attachments. =head2 mod_perl 2.0 Core Development Discussion List This list is used by the mod_perl 2.0 core developers to discuss design issues, solve problems, munch on patches and exchange ideas. =over =item * mailing list subscription: mailto:dev-subscribe@perl.apache.org =item * archive: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modperl-dev&r=1&w=2#apache-modperl-dev =back When reporting problems, be sure to include the output of: % perl build/config.pl which generates the output from: =over 4 =item perl -V =item httpd -V =item Makefile.PL options =back Please use the output generated by I utility.
