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

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

          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 ...

        It doesn't want to install for me (or possibly I just don't know how to install it), so I have no idea :-) but if there's anything I can do to the XML to make it work better for you, please let me know. And I'll add a link to the script from my site shortly.

          Drat! Hmm... Silly question, but, you do have Greasemonkey installed, right?

          Thanks! I'll remember that. :-)

          Excellent. Fame, here I come!

            Errm, no. I thought it was part of Firefox.

              Heh. Good thing I remembered the golden rule of debugging: "first, always check if it's plugged in". ;-)
              
              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)
