This commit adds a top-level file that points readers to the actual Standards of Conduct in perlpolicy.pod. It also makes a point to distinguish between what the Perl Steering Council is responsible for and what other community groups are responsible for.

# Code of Conduct
|
|
|
|
Development of the Perl 5 language is covered by the [Standards of
|
|
Conduct](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#STANDARDS-OF-CONDUCT) in the
|
|
[perlpolicy](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy) document. (See
|
|
[pod/perlpolicy.pod](pod/perlpolicy.pod) for source version.)
|
|
|
|
The overarching rule is that participants are expected to **be civil**.
|
|
It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil.
|
|
|
|
The Standard of Conduct falls under the authority of the
|
|
[Perl Steering Council](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlgov#The-Steering-Council)
|
|
and covers activities on the perl5-porters mailing list, the
|
|
GitHub repository issue/pull-request tracker, and any other venues
|
|
directly organized on behalf the Perl Steering Council.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: The Perl Steering Council operates independently of
|
|
[The Perl Foundation](https://www.perlfoundation.org/) and other
|
|
Perl community organizations. Consult their websites for information on
|
|
other community codes of conduct.
