CORELIST(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide CORELIST(1) 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 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

Module::CoreList::Utils(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Module::CoreList::Utils(3pm) NAME
Module::CoreList::Utils - what utilities shipped with versions of perl SYNOPSIS
use Module::CoreList::Utils; print $Module::CoreList::Utils::utilities{5.009003}{ptar}; # prints 1 print Module::CoreList::Utils->first_release('corelist'); # prints 5.008009 print Module::CoreList::Utils->first_release_by_date('corelist'); # prints 5.009002 DESCRIPTION
Module::CoreList::Utils provides information on which core and dual-life utilities shipped with each version of perl. It provides a number of mechanisms for querying this information. There is a functional programming API available for programmers to query information. Programmers may also query the contained hash structure to find relevant information. FUNCTIONS API
These are the functions that are available, they may either be called as functions or class methods: Module::CoreList::Utils::first_release('corelist'); # as a function Module::CoreList::Utils->first_release('corelist'); # class method "utilities" Requires a perl version as an argument, returns a list of utilities that shipped with that version of perl, or undef/empty list if that perl doesn't exist. "first_release( UTILITY )" Requires a UTILITY name as an argument, returns the perl version when that utility first appeared in core as ordered by perl version number or undef ( in scalar context ) or an empty list ( in list context ) if that utility is not in core. "first_release_by_date( UTILITY )" Requires a UTILITY name as an argument, returns the perl version when that utility first appeared in core as ordered by release date or undef ( in scalar context ) or an empty list ( in list context ) if that utility is not in core. "removed_from( UTILITY )" Takes a UTILITY name as an argument, returns the first perl version where that utility was removed from core. Returns undef if the given utility was never in core or remains in core. "removed_from_by_date( UTILITY )" Takes a UTILITY name as an argument, returns the first perl version by release date where that utility was removed from core. Returns undef if the given utility was never in core or remains in core. DATA STRUCTURES
These are the hash data structures that are available: %Module::CoreList::Utils::utilities A hash of hashes that is keyed on perl version as indicated in $]. The second level hash is utility / defined pairs. AUTHOR
