Some of these has entered the core a long time ago. As discussed,
people expect them to be there and so back-compatibility issues are on
stake.
$ corelist Text::Soundex
Text::Soundex was first released with perl 5
$ corelist Pod::InputObjects
Pod::InputObjects was first released with perl 5.006
$ corelist Env
Env was first released with perl 5
$ corelist CGI::Pretty
CGI::Pretty was first released with perl 5.006
Others like the ones below were recently added in a policy coherent to
the criteria mentioned by Schwern: namely, they are dependencies to
modules that help build the core or other extension libraries
(CPANPLUS, Module::Build, etc.)
$ corelist Module::Loaded Archive::Tar
Module::Loaded was first released with perl 5.009004
Archive::Tar was first released with perl 5.009003
Yves explained about Tie::Hash::NamedCapture.
