  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.

    My own results of this kind of analysis at http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/88746/cpan-prereqs.json.txt [getdropbox.com] gave Msql-Mysql-modules a (very high) score of 21530, which backs up Alias's numbers. I can look at generating detailed dumps later today.

    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":

    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.
