Is there a list published somewhere of the core modules that will be

can check a given module and its version, but if a list has already

big list of provided modules from the perl package in [core].

Well to get the best results, one must scour the perldelta(.*) pages for
upgraded/deprecated/removed modules
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5190delta.pod#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata
shows the modz that
are due to be pulled in 5.19.0 there are others in the later perldeltas
that are going into the deprecated list as well.
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5197delta.pod#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata
shows CGI.pm going into deprecated status,
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5196delta.pod#Deprecations
has some more as well. I'm not sure
how easy it'd be to script that, a
corelist --dif 5.18.0 5.19.0 | grep absent
Seems to be a good way to determine that, but it implies having 5.19.0
installed. Maybe we should have a perl-developer-release AUR package to
simplify the process? though that could get messy with all the community
modules that may depend on deprecated code from the developer-releases.
Thoughts?
