I don't trust those numbers (Score:1)

Msql-Mysql-modules for example has only 50 dependencies (http://cpants.perl.org/dist/used_by/Msql-Mysql-modules), none of them particularly common ones. HTTP-BrowserDetect has only 8. There's no way those could have ended up so highly.

  HTML-Widgets-Index requires DBD::mysql, which is part of Msql-Mysql-modules. CPANTS thinks that HTML-Widgets-Index is very well-used, because it thinks that it is the provider of the module "Test":
  http://cpants.perl.org/dist/used_by/HTML- [perl.org]
  Widgets-Index
  http://cpants.perl.org/dist/provides/HTML-Widgets-Index [perl.org]

    Likewise, HTTP::BrowserDetect depends on HTML-Widgets-Index and FreeWRL 'provides' Config.

      Oops, I meant of course HTML-Widgets-Index depends on HTTP::BrowserDetect.
