14 Reporting Bugs
*****************

Please send bug reports to the current maintainers by electronic mail.
The address to use is `<bug-stow@gnu.org>'.  Please include:

   * the version number of Stow (`stow --version');

   * the version number of Perl (`perl -v');

   * the system information, which can often be obtained with `uname
     -a';

   * a description of the bug;

   * the precise command you gave;

   * the output from the command (preferably verbose output, obtained by
     adding `--verbose=3' to the Stow command line).

   If you are really keen, consider developing a minimal test case and
creating a new test.  See the `t/' directory in the source for lots of
examples.

   Before reporting a bug, please read the manual carefully, especially
Note: Known Bugs, to see whether you're encountering something that
doesn't need reporting.  (Note: Conflicts).
