Reporting bugs
**************

   Please send bug reports to the author, Bob Glickstein, by electronic
mail.  The address to use is `<bobg+stow@zanshin.com>'.  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).

   Before reporting a bug, please read the manual carefully, especially
Note: Known bugs, and Note: Caveats, to see whether you're
encountering something that doesn't need reporting, such as a "false
conflict" (Note: Conflicts).
