Hi all:

I recently tried to report a bug with perlbug. The script reported success sending the bug, but I got no feedback. I cannot find it in the bug tracker either:

http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/

By the way, there is no way for normal people to create an account on that bug tracker. Their advice is:

"Don't have an account but want to browse bugs? Use the public interface. Want to report a bug? Send it in via e-mail."

However, the e-mail to send the bug report to is not there. I guess it's the same perlbug@perl.org that perlbug uses. I wonder how spam filtering works. If I do not use perlbug, does the e-mail get automatically rejected? How about adding information to existing bugs?

Am I right in complaining about lack of "customer care" in regards to bug reporting? Or did I miss something obvious?
