Module::CoreList - what modules shipped with versions of perl
use Module::CoreList;print $Module::CoreList::version{5.00503}{CPAN}; # prints 1.48print Module::CoreList->first_release('File::Spec'); # prints 5.00405print Module::CoreList->first_release_by_date('File::Spec'); # prints 5.005print Module::CoreList->first_release('File::Spec', 0.82); # prints 5.006001print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/Data/); # prints 'Data::Dumper'print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/test::h.*::.*s/i, 5.008008); # prints 'Test::Harness::Assert, Test::Harness::Straps'print join ", ", @{ $Module::CoreList::families{5.005} }; # prints "5.005, 5.00503, 5.00504"Module::CoreList contains the hash of hashes %Module::CoreList::version, that is keyed on perl version as indicated in $]. The second level hash is module => version pairs.
Note, it is possible for the version of a module to be unspecified, whereby the value is undef, so useexists $version{$foo}{$bar} if that's what you're testing for.
It also contains %Module::CoreList::released hash, which has ISO formatted versions of the release dates, as gleaned fromperlhist.
New, in 1.96 is also the %Module::CoreList::families hash, which clusters known perl releases by their major versions.
Starting with 2.10, the special module nameUnicode refers to the version of the Unicode Character Database bundled with Perl.
Since 2.11, Module::CoreList::first_release() returns the first release in the order of perl version numbers. If you want to get the earliest perl release instead, use Module::CoreList::first_release_by_date().
Module::CoreList currently covers the 5.000, 5.001, 5.002, 5.003_07, 5.004, 5.004_05, 5.005, 5.005_03, 5.005_04, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.7.3, 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.2, 5.8.3, 5.8.4, 5.8.5, 5.8.6, 5.8.7, 5.8.8, 5.8.9, 5.9.0, 5.9.1, 5.9.2, 5.9.3, 5.9.4, 5.9.5, 5.10.0 and 5.10.1 releases of perl.
