## NAME
    corelist - a commandline frontend to [Module::CoreList]

## DESCRIPTION
    See [Module::CoreList] for one.

## SYNOPSIS
       corelist -v
       corelist [-a|-d] <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ [<ModuleVersion>] ...
       corelist [-v <PerlVersion>] [ <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ ] ...
       corelist [-r <PerlVersion>] ...
       corelist --utils [-d] <UtilityName> [<UtilityName>] ...

       corelist --feature <FeatureName> [<FeatureName>] ...
       corelist --diff PerlVersion PerlVersion
       corelist --upstream <ModuleName>

## OPTIONS
    -a  lists all versions of the given module (or the matching modules, in
        case you used a module regexp) in the perls [Module::CoreList] knows
        about.

    -d  finds the first perl version where a module has been released by
        date, and not by version number (as is the default).

    --diff
        Given two versions of perl, this prints a human-readable table of
        all module changes between the two. The output format may change in
        the future, and is meant for *humans*, not programs. For programs,
        use the [Module::CoreList] API.

    -? or -help
        help! help! help! to see more help, try --man.

    -man
        all of the help

    -v  lists all of the perl release versions we got the CoreList for.

        If you pass a version argument (value of $], like 5.00503 or
        5.008008), you get a list of all the modules and their respective
        versions. (If you have the "version" module, you can also use
        new-style version numbers, like 5.8.8.)

        In module filtering context, it can be used as Perl version filter.

    -r  lists all of the perl releases and when they were released

        If you pass a perl version you get the release date for that version
        only.

    --utils
        lists the first version of perl each named utility program was
        released with

        May be used with -d to modify the first release criteria.

        If used with -v <version> then all utilities released with that
        version of perl are listed, and any utility programs named on the
        command line are ignored.

    --feature, -f
        lists the first version bundle of each named feature given

    --upstream, -u
        Shows if the given module is primarily maintained in perl core or on
        CPAN and bug tracker URL.

    As a special case, if you specify the module name "Unicode", you'll get
    the version number of the Unicode Character Database bundled with the
    requested perl versions.

## EXAMPLES
        $ corelist [File::Spec]

        [File::Spec] was first released with perl 5.005

        $ corelist [File::Spec] 0.83

        [File::Spec] 0.83 was released with perl 5.007003

        $ corelist [File::Spec] 0.89

        [File::Spec] 0.89 was not in CORE (or so I think)

        $ corelist [File::Spec::Aliens]

        [File::Spec::Aliens]  was not in CORE (or so I think)

        $ corelist /[IPC::Open]/

        [IPC::Open2] was first released with perl 5

        [IPC::Open3] was first released with perl 5

        $ corelist /MANIFEST/i

        [ExtUtils::Manifest] was first released with perl 5.001

        $ corelist /Template/

        /Template/  has no match in CORE (or so I think)

        $ corelist -v 5.8.8 B

        B                        1.09_01

        $ corelist -v 5.8.8 /^B::/

        [B::Assembler]             0.07
        [B::Bblock]                1.02_01
        [B::Bytecode]              1.01_01
        [B::C]                     1.04_01
        [B::CC]                    1.00_01
        [B::Concise]               0.66
        [B::Debug]                 1.02_01

        [B::O]                     1.00
        [B::Showlex]               1.02
        [B::Stackobj]              1.00
