corelist - a commandline frontend to Module::CoreList
See Module::CoreList for one.
corelist -v
corelist [-a] <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ [<ModuleVersion>] ...
corelist [-v <PerlVersion>] [ <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ ] ...
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
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.
