Prompted by this whole thread, I looked at CPANPLUS for the
first time, and checked docs. cpanp has a 'prereqs' flag. I
don't know if he has to download the module and unpack to
find the prereqs (it would be nice if he didn't have to d/l
first)
I had one hair-brained idea from that. Start with a known
list of modules, such as Task::Catalyst, turn cpanp loose on
it, create a set of data structures based on mods and their
prereqs, then do a depth-first search on the data
structures, and filter for %seen modules.
Maybe CPAN::Unwind can do this already, I haven't had time
to check it out yet. I just learned about that one from this
thread, too. Either way, it might provide a function to keep
up to date with the ever-shifting dependency landscape.
