in thread colons don't always separate path items!

You do a `diff -ub oldfile newfile >thepatch', and you send a mail to the perl 5 porters (p5p-faq) saying what's what, and attach the patch. You don't need to subscribe to post.

update: How do I report/fix a bug in Perl and/or its documentation?
Also, you'll wanna obtain the latest copy of the file, and you can do that at one of the following urls:

You'll wanna look for perl-current (bleadperl, the latest), and it might not be a bad idea to submit patches for perl-5.6.x (to become perl-5.6.2) and perl-5.8.x (to become perl-5.8.1, well at this time ). One of the p5p will see your patch, and if they approve, they'll apply it (but you knew that ;).

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    And I get a program named diff where...? Not just any program named diff.exe, but one that outputs the stuff p5p expects.

        I avoid cygwin-compiled stuff because it doesn't like normal path names. I have to change all drive letters to its own "mount point" things.

      http://www.mingw.org/ is one place. Got a CVS client? diff should come with it used to come with some.
