in reply to XML::* in core modules

Actually I got XML::Parser with my copy of perl distributed with RH Linux 9, but I had to install XML::Simple (which uses Parser) myself.

Really, what makes a module a core module? I'd like to know too.

    Module::Corelist - what modules shipped with versions of perl.

    Versions of perl being those released on CPAN, aka official perl releases.

    update: Also, core modules are generally located in perl -V:installarchlib -V:installprivlib, although this is not guaranteed to remain true (like if you upgrade a certain module, it may move to perl -V:sitelib).
