corelist - a commandline frontend to Module::CoreList

See Module::CoreList for one.

corelist -v
corelist [-a] <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ [<ModuleVersion>] ...
corelist [-v <PerlVersion>] [ <ModuleName> | /<ModuleRegex>/ ] ...

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.

all of the help
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.
