NAME

       corelist - a commandline frontend to Module::CoreList

DESCRIPTION

       See Module::CoreList for one.

SYNOPSIS

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

OPTIONS

       -a  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

       -d  finds the first perl version where a module has been released by date, and not by version number (as is the default).

       -? 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 ver-
	   sions.  (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

	   $ corelist -v 5.8.8 /^B::/

	   B::Asmdata		    1.01
	   B::Assembler 	    0.07
	   B::Bblock		    1.02_01
	   B::Bytecode		    1.01_01
	   B::C 		    1.04_01
	   B::CC		    1.00_01
	   B::Concise		    0.66
	   B::Debug		    1.02_01
	   B::Deparse		    0.71
	   B::Disassembler	    1.05
	   B::Lint		    1.03
	   B::O 		    1.00
	   B::Showlex		    1.02
	   B::Stackobj		    1.00
	   B::Stash		    1.00
