OK, understood. I did not realize that these were grouped by distribution. I suppose if you're going to report a bug, you either blindly trust that the "issue" or "report bug" link (depending on where you started) points to the right place, or you do some legwork and find out what the right place is. The blind method has the downside that if it's wrong, you're report could be ignored for years before the housekeeping elves come through and mumble "WTF", and possibly toss it out. But hey, you get what you pay for, well enough.

It does seem a bit strange to say "It's in the core, therefore it's all part of the monolith we call perl." But the community must have decided eons ago this is the way to do it.

Cheers,
