This list is woefully incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it doesn't include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues in previous releases that helped make Perl 5.14.0 better. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the AUTHORS file in the release tarball.
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl 5's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for their contributions.
