Is there a quick & easy way to check if a module is pure-Perl, or is Perl+binary for both CPAN and core modules? No. Well kinda. Sure-fire-way is to look at he source.
Cheap tricks $ perl -MCGI -MDBI -le " print for grep /CGI|DBI/, keys %:: "
_<DBI.c
_<DBI.pm
_<DBI.xs
_<C:/citrusperl/site/lib/auto/DBI/DBI.dll
CGITempFile::
CGI::
DBI::
_<C:/citrusperl/lib/CGI/Util.pm
so DBI.dll/DBI.xs/DBI.c means DBI is binary, lack of .c/.xs/.dll/.so means CGI is pure-perl

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
