   3 Development of the Perl 5 language is covered by the [Standards of
   4 Conduct](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#STANDARDS-OF-CONDUCT) in the
   5 [perlpolicy](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy) document.  (See
   6 [pod/perlpolicy.pod](pod/perlpolicy.pod) for source version.)

   8 The overarching rule is that participants are expected to **be civil**.
   9 It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil.
  10
  11 The Standard of Conduct falls under the authority of the
  12 [Perl Steering Council](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlgov#The-Steering-Council)
  13 and covers activities on the perl5-porters mailing list, the
  14 GitHub repository issue/pull-request tracker, and any other venues
  15 directly organized on behalf the Perl Steering Council.
  16
  17 **NOTE**: The Perl Steering Council operates independently of
  18 [The Perl Foundation](https://www.perlfoundation.org/) and other
  19 Perl community organizations.  Consult their websites for information on
  20 other community codes of conduct.
