  For changelogs, you can either look at the extensive Changes* files found in the perl source distribution, or use perlbrowse at http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse [activestate.com]

    I guess it's better than nothing, but it still requires a lot of effort to figure out what changes went into which version. There is no mention of the module version being updated in those changes files. This might be acceptable for looking up one module, but once you start trying to look at the differences for other files, it starts to become painful.

    Hence why I was hoping there might actually be a Changes file for each individual file. :(

      I think that Module::Corelist contains the Perforce revision number for each release. Also, you can use the corelist command to see which version of the module went into each release.

      steve@kirk:~/perl-encode$ corelist -a File::Path
      
      File::Path  was first released with perl 5.001
        5.001      undef
        5.002      1.01
        5.00307    1.01
        5.004      1.04

      etc.

      As for queries by file, the perlbrowse site will let you browse the 50 most
