Standard perl modules

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

I am writing some code that will be ported to different unix platforms. I know they will all have perl installed. I just don't know what modules are installed with a "pure perl" install. Is there somewhere in the perldocs or other documentation that would list what comes with a standard install. I was just wondering before I went ahead and tried to reinvent wheels.

The exact list varies (or, more accurately, increases) from release to release, but the list for your version will be in the `perlmodlib` manual page that came with your distribution. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]

On CPAN, browsing through the distributions, you'll get for each distrib, the modules included. Like here for example... "Trying to be a SMART lamer" (thanx to Merlyn ;-)	[reply]
