I've installed perl 5.12.0 and suddenly more than half of the modules are
missing from the listing in the perlmodlib manpage.

Among missing modules are CGI, Data​::Dumper, ExtUtils​::MakeMaker, Encode,
Math​::BigInt. These modules do seem to be installed with perl, and their
documentation is installed too, only they don't appear in the listing of
modules in perlmodlib. Am I wrong in expecting them to be listed?

Thanks,

Ambrus

I've installed perl 5.12.0 and suddenly more than half of the modules are
missing from the listing in the perlmodlib manpage.

perlmodlib.PL says​:

  @​files = grep m#(?​:\.pm|\.pod|_pm\.PL)#, map {s/\s.*//s; $_}
  grep {m#^lib# || m#^ext#} grep !m#/(?​:t|demo)/#, <MANIFEST>;

Looks like it needs an update for the split of ext. Should probably
change that second line to

  grep {m#^(?​:cpan|dist|ext|lib)/#} grep !m#/(?​:t|demo)/#, <MANIFEST>;

-zefram

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Indeed, I committed a similar change now in blead. A lot of modules
are now added in perlmodlib...

@rgs - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'

Hm. +1 to cherry-pick this to maint

Me three. I've marked it as approved in the tracker.
