When designing a Perl application that needs to run on many different versions I end up using 'corelist' a good deal. Most of the time I just needed a list of the additions or removals of core modules from different stable series of Perl releases. I kept all this information in a text file for reference. While searching for something Perl related it dawned on me that I should post this as it could be useful for other Perl developers as well.

I used 'corelist -r' and 'corelist -v ' to gather this data together. The release data is from 'perldoc perlhist'.

2008-12-14 Perl v5.8.9 released Pumpking: Nicholas Clark
2007-12-18 Perl v5.10.0 released Pumpking: Rafael Garcia-Suarez
2010-04-12 Perl v5.12.0 released Pumpking: Jesse Vincent
2011-05-14 Perl v5.14.0 released Pumpking: Jesse Vincent
