NAME

corelist - a commandline frontend to Module::CoreList

DESCRIPTION

See Module::CoreList for one.

SYNOPSIS

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

        corelist -a utf8
        utf8 was first released with perl 5.006
      5.006      undef
      5.006001   undef
      5.006002   undef
      5.007003   1.00
      5.008      1.00
      5.008001   1.02
      5.008002   1.02
      5.008003   1.02
      5.008004   1.03
      5.008005   1.04
      5.008006   1.04
      5.008007   1.05
      5.008008   1.06
      5.009      1.02
      5.009001   1.02
      5.009002   1.04
      5.009003   1.06
  • -? 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.

As a special case, if you specify the module name Unicode , you'll get the version number of the Unicode Character Database bundled with the requested perl versions.

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
    B                        1.09_01
