Hm, I don't see that on my RHEL box.

It does exist on my Mac, but the output is very unhelpful:

$ which corelist
/usr/bin/corelist
$ corelist -a
The contents of this script should normally never run! The perl wrapper
should pick the correct script in /usr/bin by appending the appropriate
version. You can try appending the appropriate perl version number. See
perlmacosx.pod for more information about multiple version support in
Mac OS X.

That hint leads me to notice

$ ls /usr/bin/corelist*
/usr/bin/corelist* /usr/bin/corelist5.18* /usr/bin/corelist5.30*

but all three of those print the same thing.

So this isn't looking promising :-(
