The thread you cited refers to my Devel::Modlist package, but the example they use overlooks an option called "cpandist":
perl -d:Modlist=cpandist,nocore,stop upj_post.pl
(The upj_post.pl is one of my sample scripts that demonstrates the SOAP interface to the use Perl; journal system.)
This produces the output:
G/GA/GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.16.tar.gz
G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.64.tar.gz
K/KU/KULCHENKO/SOAP-Lite-0.51.tar.gz
If the cpan option is used instead of cpandist, it simply refers to the first module of a given package, since "install Module" from within the CPAN shell is sufficient:
perl -d:Modlist -MDevel::Modlist="cpan,noversion,nocore,stop" upj_post.pl
Digest::MD5
HTTP::Cookies
SOAP::Lite
An important note: all of these examples used the "stop" option, which stops prior to the execution of the program, and prints results then. If any of the libraries listed were to include others, you would see them here unless they were included at compile-time. For example, if the nature of the run included encoding MIME data using base-64, LWP probably doesn't load MIME::Base64 until it is explicitly needed.

When I have it in a less user-surly state, I plan to post it under either Code or Snippits. At present, I've only posted it in the discussion under one of pudge's journal entries on use.perl.org. You could find it there, I think the journal entry that started the thread was titled something like, "SOAP is here, wash yourself".

Update: This is a direct link to the comment that has the code for upj_post.pl. Since posting that, I've lightened the requirement of having an existing Netscape cookie for authentication. The version I'll post here (probably sooner rather than later) will include a -C option that allows for command-line provision of the UID/password for authentication.
