NAME
       Module::CoreList - what modules shipped with versions of perl

SYNOPSIS
        use Module::CoreList;

        print $Module::CoreList::version{5.00503}{CPAN}; # prints 1.48

        print Module::CoreList->first_release('File::Spec');         # prints 5.00405
        print Module::CoreList->first_release_by_date('File::Spec'); # prints 5.005
        print Module::CoreList->first_release('File::Spec', 0.82);   # prints 5.006001

        print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/Data/);
           # prints 'Data::Dumper'
        print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/test::h.*::.*s/i, 5.008008);
           # prints 'Test::Harness::Assert, Test::Harness::Straps'

        print join ", ", @{ $Module::CoreList::families{5.005} };
           # prints "5.005, 5.00503, 5.00504"

        print join " ", @{ $Module::CoreList::patchlevel{5.008001} };
           # prints "maint-5.8 21377"

DESCRIPTION
       Module::CoreList contains the hash of hashes %Module::CoreList::version, that is keyed on
       perl version as indicated in $].  The second level hash is module => version pairs.

       Note, it is possible for the version of a module to be unspecified, whereby the value is
       undef, so use "exists $version{$foo}{$bar}" if that's what you're testing for.

       It also contains %Module::CoreList::released hash, which has ISO formatted versions of the
       release dates, as gleaned from perlhist.

       New, in 1.96 is also the %Module::CoreList::families hash, which clusters known perl
       releases by their major versions.

       In 2.01 %Module::CoreList::patchlevel contains the branch and patchlevel corresponding to
       the specified perl version in the Perforce repository where the perl sources are kept.

       Starting with 2.10, the special module name "Unicode" refers to the version of the Unicode
       Character Database bundled with Perl.

       Since 2.11, Module::CoreList::first_release() returns the first release in the order of
       perl version numbers. If you want to get the earliest perl release instead, use
       Module::CoreList::first_release_by_date().

CAVEATS
       Module::CoreList currently covers the 5.000, 5.001, 5.002, 5.003_07, 5.004, 5.004_05,
       5.005, 5.005_03, 5.005_04, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.7.3, 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.2, 5.8.3, 5.8.4,
