This page (warning it's huge) lists all CPAN distributions and marks the ones bundled with ActivePerl as 'CORE'. This is a misleading label since some are core (come in the Perl distribution) and the rest are added by ActiveState.

I grabbed a local copy using wget then ran this script to extract the names of all the distributions marked 'CORE' and then use Richard Clamp's Module::CoreList to filter out the ones that really are core:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use XML::LibXML;
use Module::CoreList;

my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
$parser->recover(1);
my $dom = $parser->parse_html_file('activeperl_ppm_status.html')
  or die "parse error";

foreach ( $dom->findnodes('//tr[./td[3]/text() = "CORE"]/td[1]/text()'
+) ) {
  my $dist = $_->to_literal;
  $dist =~ s/-/::/g;
  next if Module::CoreList->first_release($dist);
  print $dist, "\n";
}

Which returned this list:

Archive::Tar
Compress::Zlib
Data::Dump
Digest::HMAC
Digest::MD2
Digest::MD4
Digest::SHA1
File::CounterFile
Font::AFM
HTML::Parser
HTML::Tagset
HTML::Tree
IO::Zlib
libwin32
libwww::perl
MD5
Scalar::List::Utils
SOAP::Lite
Tk
URI
Win32::OLE
Win32::Sound
Win32::TieRegistry
Win32API::File
XML::Parser
XML::Simple

Update: added the s/-/::/g line to fix the list filtering.
