in thread Should I list core modules as dependencies?

"I suspect that the Core List will only grow larger"

Modules are quite often moved out of core. Some of the biggies have been Class::ISA and Switch which were both removed in 5.14.

CPANPLUS and Module::Pluggable are due to go in 5.20; and CGI and Module::Build will probably go in 5.22.

Update: removed "probably"; it's now official; they're going.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
