  • -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.
