DESCRIPTION

See Module::CoreList for one.

corelist [-v <PerlVersion>] [ <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ ] ...

OPTIONS

-a modulename

lists all versions of the given module (or the matching modules, in case you used a module regexp) in the perls Module::CoreList knows about.

-? or -help

help! help! help! to see more help, try --man.

-man

all of the help

-v

lists all of the perl release versions we got the CoreList for.

If you pass a version argument (value of $], like 5.00503 or 5.008008), you get a list of all the modules and their respective versions. (If you have the version module, you can also use new-style version numbers, like 5.8.8.)

In module filtering context, it can be used as Perl version filter.

EXAMPLES

$ corelist File::Spec

File::Spec  was first released with perl 5.005

$ corelist File::Spec 0.83

File::Spec 0.83 was released with perl 5.007003

$ corelist File::Spec 0.89

File::Spec 0.89 was not in CORE (or so I think)

$ corelist File::Spec::Aliens

File::Spec::Aliens  was not in CORE (or so I think)

$ corelist /IPC::Open/

IPC::Open2  was first released with perl 5

IPC::Open3  was first released with perl 5

$ corelist /MANIFEST/i

ExtUtils::Manifest  was first released with perl 5.001

$ corelist /Template/

/Template/  has no match in CORE (or so I think)

$ corelist -v 5.8.8 B
