The cygwin perl-5.8.8 standard package ships in vendor the following
modules:
IO-Compress-Base-2.004
Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.004
Compress-Zlib-2.004
Compress-Bzip2-2.09
IO-Compress-Zlib-2.004
IO-Zlib-1.05
IO-String-1.08
Text-Diff-0.35
Archive-Tar-1.32
MD5-2.03
Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.16
Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0302
Net-Telnet-3.03
TermReadKey-2.30
XML-Parser-2.34
Proc-ProcessTable-0.40
The forthcoming 5.10 (which is perl-5.9.5-1 as test distribution) will
ship in vendor besides XML::SAX also the new libxml libs, and all CPAN
and CPAN::Reporter dependencies:
Term-ReadLine-Perl-1.0302 Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.16 TermReadKey-2.30
XML-Parser-2.34
XML-LibXML-1.63 XML-NamespaceSupport-1.09 XML-SAX-0.15
XML-LibXML-Common-0.13
Proc-ProcessTable-0.41
Test-Pod-Coverage-1.08 Test-Pod-1.26
File-Temp-0.18 YAML-0.62
Config-Tiny-2.10 File-Copy-Recursive-0.33 IPC-Run3-0.037 Probe-Perl-0.01
Tee-0.13 IO-CaptureOutput-1.03 File-pushd-0.99 File-HomeDir-0.65
Module-Signature-0.55 Devel-Symdump-2.07
URI-1.35 HTML-Tagset-3.10 HTML-Parser-3.56 libwww-perl-5.805
CPAN-1.9102
Test-Reporter-1.27 CPAN-Reporter-0.44
All the rest can be easily bootstrapped via cpan with the gcc and some
more basic development packages.
