Well, it depends...

A core module is one that is shipped along side the perl source/binary. A non-core module would, obviously, be any other module. However, some core modules lead dual lives on CPAN. These modules, once they have newer versions released to CPAN, will later be re-integrated back into the core.

A third-party module would encompass, i believe, not only all modules found on CPAN, but those shipped with other applications or available for download elsewhere (such as sourceforge).

I hope that makes sense. :) -- someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
