This is a bug report for perl from ambrus@math.bme.hu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.12.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]


I've installed perl 5.12.0 and suddenly more than half of the modules are
missing from the listing in the perlmodlib manpage.

Among missing modules are CGI, Data::Dumper, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Encode,
Math::BigInt.  These modules do seem to be installed with perl, and their
documentation is installed too, only they don't appear in the listing of
modules in perlmodlib.  Am I wrong in expecting them to be listed?

Thanks,

Ambrus
