       -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  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::Asmdata		    1.01
	   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::Deparse		    0.71
	   B::Disassembler	    1.05
	   B::Lint		    1.03
	   B::O			    1.00
	   B::Showlex		    1.02
	   B::Stackobj		    1.00
	   B::Stash		    1.00
	   B::Terse		    1.03_01
