I haven't tried it, but a quick search on CPAN yielded Module::Dependency::Info, which sounds like it might do what you want. It can't get everything, since it's possible to hide dependencies inside an eval, but it will probably be better than the recursively-grepping home-brew script I use to do this. Out of curiosity, what are you using this for? My little experiment grew out of an attempt to merge POD from required modules into one gargantuan page. /s	[reply]

Take a look at Class::ISA or, if you want to draw pictures of the dependencies, GraphViz::ISA.	[reply]

if you don't care about the dependencies hierarchy, this one-liner reports the whole stuff (change LWP for the module you want to inspect): `perl -MLWP -e 'print join("\n", keys %INC), "\n";'` [download] cheers, Aldo `__END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
