Checking if module was released with 5.6

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have Perl 5.8 on my local Windows workstation and now loading a script to a Windows NT server with Perl 5.6. I am calling the below module in my script and want to know if it was included in Perl 5.6? Or was it loaded with 5.8??

File::Basename

You want to use Module::CoreList. `> corelist -a File::Basename File::Basename was first released with perl 5 5 undef 5.001 undef 5.002 undef 5.00307 2.4 5.004 2.5 5.00405 2.6 5.005 2.6 5.00503 2.6 5.00504 2.6 5.006 2.6 5.006001 2.6 5.006002 2.6 5.007003 2.71 5.008 2.71 5.008001 2.72 5.008002 2.72 5.008003 2.72 5.008004 2.72 5.008005 2.73 5.008006 2.73 5.008007 2.73 5.008008 2.74 5.009 2.72 5.009001 2.72 5.009002 2.73 5.009003 2.74` [download] -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.

thanks, It looks like the Web Server should have that module because it should have been in the standard release of 5.6	[reply]
