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#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata 
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#Removed_Modules_and_Pragmata 


shows CGI.pm going into deprecated status,

https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.8/pod/perl5196delta.pod#Deprecations 
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. 
Thoughts?
