I wondered what would happen if one were to use all core modules.
Here's what happened:
19 core libs can not be simply used, without being fatal,
so they're commented out (ymmv on versions ne 5.26.2).
The perl interpreter grows to about 150 megabytes.
A series of warnings is printed which may or may not
have any value. This is why I'm sharing it here. In
case the warnings indicate real issues, or
interesting things to investigate.
This 1-liner generates the ~650 line script, redirects stdout
to the file "useallcore" and runs "perl useallcore" which
prints the errors, and lines from ps about the perl process.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
