Seems that Jarkko agrees with you. I think he's added more module to the
core than any previous pumpking.

The feeling at the p5p meeting at San Diego was that adding more modules to
the core was _not_ the way to go.

The idea that was dicussed there was for a much slimmed-down core set of
modules together with a set of "module sets" that you could download from
CPAN. E.g a database bundle would contain the DBM modules and DBI, the
web bundle would include CGI.pm, LWP and HTML::Parser, etc...

Of course we're some way away from any kind of agreement on _how_ to do
this. Then come all the arguments on which bundles to create and what they
each contain.

I expect the Perl 6 will be the earliest time we can expect to see this :)
