in thread How To Identify or List Core Modules

At the risk of seeming churlish, may I ask if you tried a search of any kind? UPDATE: I see that you did try searching. In my experience the more natural you can make your query, the more relevant the results. For example, I tried this on Google:

    Please note that the 'core modules' sections of http://perldoc.perl.org are out of date. For example there's no J section yet JSON::PP has been core for some time:

    corelist JSON::PP Data for 2014-05-27 JSON::PP was first released with perl v5.13.9

    I've raised the issue in the past, but will do so again now.

      I've raised the issue in the past, but will do so again now.
      How does one go about raising an issue with http://perldoc.perl.org these days? I remembered a direct link from that site to some type of issue tracker, but I no longer see that link. Is it somewhere on the perl5-porters link now?
