Module::CoreList is the answer. This will be a core module in 5.10, but by now if you use 5.8 or older install the module via CPAN. When it installs, a script called "corelist" comes together. With it you can query about core modules. (Read the docs at http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Module::CoreList) $ corelist CGI CGI was first released with perl 5.004 $ corelist Class::Accessor Class::Accessor was not in CORE (or so I think) $ corelist /^File::/ File::Basename was first released with perl 5 File::CheckTree was first released with perl 5 File::Compare was first released with perl 5.004 File::Copy was first released with perl 5.002 File::DosGlob was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Fetch was first released with perl 5.009005 File::Find was first released with perl 5 File::Glob was first released with perl 5.006 File::GlobMapper was first released with perl 5.009004 File::Path was first released with perl 5.001 File::Spec was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Spec::Cygwin was first released with perl 5.006002 File::Spec::Epoc was first released with perl 5.006001 File::Spec::Functions was first released with perl 5.00504 File::Spec::Mac was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Spec::OS2 was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Spec::Unix was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Spec::VMS was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Spec::Win32 was first released with perl 5.00405 File::Temp was first released with perl 5.006001 File::stat was first released with perl 5.004 > -------------------------------------------------------- > > This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or > proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the > sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
