To get a module into the Perl5 core, you need to successfully lobby p5p. The two most interesting candidates to watch this process are currently CPANPLUS and Module::Build. Both of which are caught up in a twisted maze of unfulfilled prerequisites, all different.

The Perl6 core is still thought to be minimal - most likely, it will contain the Perl6 version of Test.pm, and I like to entertain the idea that a minimal version of LWP::Simple will be in it, together with a minimal CPAN / 6PAN module, to make module installation uniform and less painful than it currently can be. The lib module already is in the core, and likely some instance of File::Spec or URI::File will be in the core as well.

The concept of "new modules in the core" is likely to be wrong, because there will be less modules in the Perl6 core (if any more than 20 or 30 non-platform specific modules) hopefully. This will obviously require that module installation Just Works, but on the other hand, it will result in a much smaller Perl6 core.
