Dependencies without the regex (Score:1)

If using a regex to find all the use()d modules makes you feel dirty there's a snippet [perlmonks.org] over at PerlMonks that sticks a coderef in @INC to do the magic for you.

  Ooh. A coderef in @INC. Nice stuff.
  
  Well, I've just tested it, and it's far too verbose for my needs, since it lists every module that ever gets used. Module::Info could help by filtering out the core modules, but many modules in the same distribution will be listed.
  
  By the way, the script that I posted has a few problems filtering some modules from the list.
Why not... (Score:2)

...instead have pristine copies (that is, non-installed-upon) of Perls (5.8.0, 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.005_03, 5.004_05) available and then just run Makefile.PL and make test with those? That should find assumptions about installed modules pretty quickly and also allow backward compatibility testing.
