Maybe I'm not understanding correctly what "CORE" means, but as far as I 
can see CGI.pm is not included in the core Perl distribution.  perl- 
modules includes various non-core modules from CPAN.  Or, what are the 
criteria for modules to be included in perl-modules, if that's what you 
mean by "CORE"?

Plus, I'm not talking about perl-modules from Debian/stable.  Why can't 
CGI.pm be upgraded in the unstable perl-modules unless it is a security 
fix?

Julian.
