	print Module::CoreList->first_release_by_date('File::Spec'); # prints 5.005
	print Module::CoreList->first_release('File::Spec', 0.82);   # prints 5.006001

	print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/Data/);
	   # prints 'Data::Dumper'
	print join ', ', Module::CoreList->find_modules(qr/test::h.*::.*s/i, 5.008008);
	   # prints 'Test::Harness::Assert, Test::Harness::Straps'

	print join ", ", @{ $Module::CoreList::families{5.005} };
	   # prints "5.005, 5.00503, 5.00504"

DESCRIPTION
       Module::CoreList contains the hash of hashes
       %Module::CoreList::version, that is keyed on perl version as indicated
       in $].  The second level hash is module => version pairs.

       Note, it is possible for the version of a module to be unspecified,
       whereby the value is undef, so use "exists $version{$foo}{$bar}" if
       that's what you're testing for.

       It also contains %Module::CoreList::released hash, which has ISO
       formatted versions of the release dates, as gleaned from perlhist.

       New, in 1.96 is also the %Module::CoreList::families hash, which
       clusters known perl releases by their major versions.

       In 2.01 %Module::CoreList::patchlevel contains the branch and
       patchlevel corresponding to the specified perl version in the Perforce
       repository where the perl sources are kept.

       Starting with 2.10, the special module name "Unicode" refers to the
       version of the Unicode Character Database bundled with Perl.

       Since 2.11, Module::CoreList::first_release() returns the first release
       in the order of perl version numbers. If you want to get the earliest
       perl release instead, use Module::CoreList::first_release_by_date().

CAVEATS
       Module::CoreList currently covers the 5.000, 5.001, 5.002, 5.003_07,
       5.004, 5.004_05, 5.005, 5.005_03, 5.005_04, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.7.3,
