Yes, the Miniperl.pm file is auto-generated, but this doesn't change
the fact it is shipped as part of core Perl.
I assume that the whole purpose of CoreList is to say whether a given
module is to be found in the core Perl distribution or is it to be
found on CPAN or somewhere else. For this kind of classification,
Miniperl is a "core" module and should be reported.
Miniperl is the only module present in /usr/{share,lib}/perl/5.10.0
that is not listed by CoreList.

Perhaps this is why Miniperl is missing -- corelist.pl is run before
Miniperl.pm is generated (and should be run after that).
Hopefully p5p would comment (and also agree :)) soon.
