-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.

--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
