In Perl, the core modules are the standard set of modules that ship with the Perl interpreter. Previously in Fedora, the Perl core modules were split into a number of subpackages in such a way that installing the `perl` package did not install the full set of Perl core modules. This behaviour was not what was expected by most Perl users and so, from Fedora 27, installing the `perl` package now installs the full set of Perl core modules. It is still possible to install only a minimal Perl interpreter by installing just the `perl-interpreter` package.
