How does Core vs non-core modules affect performance or memory usage?

In Perl, core modules are those that come bundled with the Perl interpreter while non-core modules are additional libraries that you can install separately. Understanding the differences can help with performance and memory usage optimizations in your Perl scripts.

# Example code illustrating the use of core vs non-core modules use strict; use warnings; # Using a core module use File::Basename; my $filename = '/path/to/file.txt'; my $basename = basename($filename); print "Core Module Basename: $basename\n"; # Using a non-core module (assuming it is installed) # use Some::NonCore::Module; # my $result = Some::NonCore::Module->new(); # print "Non-Core Module Result: $result\n";
