Is there a list published somewhere of the core modules that will be removed in upcoming versions of Perl? I have a small Perl script that can check a given module and its version, but if a list has already been made, that would be easier for me than hacking it to check the big list of provided modules from the perl package in [core].
Thanks, Jason
Well to get the best results, one must scour the perldelta(.*) pages for upgraded/deprecated/removed modules https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5190delta.pod#Remo... shows the modz that are due to be pulled in 5.19.0 there are others in the later perldeltas that are going into the deprecated list as well. https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5197delta.pod#Remo... shows CGI.pm going into deprecated status, https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5196delta.pod#Depr... has some more as well. I'm not sure how easy it'd be to script that, a corelist --dif 5.18.0 5.19.0 | grep absent Seems to be a good way to determine that, but it implies having 5.19.0 installed. Maybe we should have a perl-developer-release AUR package to simplify the process? though that could get messy with all the community modules that may depend on deprecated code from the developer-releases.
