Thanks for the feedback.

I had seen the C and pure-Perl implementation information in List::MoreUtils [from CPAN]; however, the List::Util [from perldoc.perl.org] documentation made no mention of this: hence the "As far as I know" qualifier.

I was a little surprised when you mentioned there was an overlap between these two modules as I wasn't aware of this. I did a little investigation and found:

http://perldoc.perl.org/List/Util.html

Indicates Perl v5.18.2 and only shows these functions: first max maxstr min minstr reduce shuffle sum. It does show any, all, et al, which currently exist in List::MoreUtils, as suggested additions which haven't been included. (I couldn't find any mention of a module version number.)

http://search.cpan.org/~pevans/Scalar-List-Utils-1.38/lib/List/Util.pm

This does show any, all, et al as being included.

$ perldoc List::Util

This appears to be the same doco as the CPAN version. Checking my versions: List::Util 1.38 and Perl 5.18.1

I have, up until now, used the perldoc.perl.org documentation for all builtin modules. It's clear that this is out-of-date for List::Util (i.e. it's not the POD that ships with 5.18.2); unfortunately, this leave me wondering what other parts of its doco aren't up-to-date.
