| 60 | +Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant |
| 61 | +community of users and developers. The following people are known to have |
| 62 | +contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.41.5: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Craig A. Berry, Dan Book, David Mitchell, Gianni Ceccarelli, Karen |
| 65 | +Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Paul Evans, Philippe |

| 68 | +The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically |
| 69 | +generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include |
| 70 | +the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to |
| 71 | +the Perl bug tracker. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules |
| 74 | +included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for |
| 75 | +helping Perl to flourish. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please |
| 78 | +see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution. |
