in thread What modules should be added to the corelist?

Since some time, the Perl developers have decided to only include in the Perl core distribution whatever is necessary to build and install Perl and to install modules from CPAN.

That's right, but goodies got added which aren't strictly necessary for those purposes, e.g. Hash::Util::FieldHash. I'm glad it is there (though I liked more the name choices of Alter from which it derives).

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
