in reply to Reporting a bug in Perl is tricky

You should use perlbug to send bug emails. Mails not containing the footer that perlbug produces are likely to get eaten by the spam filters I think.

Note that perlbug also can give you a text file to paste into your mail.

If you want to add information to an existing bug, you need to mention "RT #12345" in your mail subject I think. The exact format is also described in the text that RT or perlbug output.

    The issue is that nowadays, it is quite common for desktop systems to have mail delivering misconfigured and the mailer program called by perlbug may fail to actually deliver anything!

      Yes - on Windows, I always let perlbug write the text to a file and then copy the text from that file into the mail I actually send.
