Symbols in the CORE "package" are (currently) the Perl keywords. E.g. :
$ perl -le 'print 1 CORE::x 3'
111
$ perl -le '$_=shift;CORE::y/a/b/;print' bar
bbr
Note that this is not documented.
To have the list of the perl keywords, a way to do it is to open the
file keywords.h that must be installed somewhere on your disk
(e.g. mine is at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE/keywords.h)
and parse it.
Have fun!
