in reply to CPAN modules for inspecting a Perl distribution?

I think this will do approximately what you want (from a linuxy command line): find . -type f -iname '*.pm' -exec egrep -iH '^\s*sub' {} \;. Not 100% effective, but it would be a pretty good first-level approximation (assuming it's not an XS distro)

    Thanks. But I'm looking for something that would provide some kind of standard report of the distribution's contents. Something that could help point me at a glance to what the major modules were, which modules had the most functions/lines, etc. instead of just peeking inside random files for 10 min.
