I usually use the terms core and standard module interchangeably to indicate that they come with the version of Perl I have. I use CPAN or non-standard modules to mean other modules you can get from CPAN. I don't usually say non-core. I don't normally use modules outside of those categories unless someone in my shop wrote them.

I don't like the term third party, since I'm not quite sure what it means. I prefer to make the distinction this way. There are standard modules that come with Perl, CPAN modules for common problems, in house code for our particulars, and out house code for things given to us by vendors.
