  • I've tacked the following at the end of your userscript:

    var deps = document.evaluate(
        "//a[contains(text(),'CPAN Dependencies')]",
        document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null );

    if ( deps.snapshotLength > 0 ) {
       GM_xmlhttpRequest({
            method: "GET",
            url: deps.snapshotItem(0).href,
            onload: function ( resp ) { mashupDeps( resp, deps ) }

    • Your wish is my command [cantrell.org.uk]. But if the XML interface starts getting hammered then I might either rate-limit it, or remove it, or change the interface, or paint it purple, or ...

        Oooh... Very cool... Thanks!

            if there's anything I can do to the XML to make it work better for you, please let me know.

                But yes, if you want the script to work, you have to install GreaseMonkey, or use the cool proxy that Andy came up with (http://search.cpan.org/~andya/HTTP-Proxy-GreaseMonkey-0.05)
