in reply to The quest for pure perl

I've been in a similar position myself, a lot.

In theory, CPANPLUS should help: you could do a regex against

$module->dslip

However, in practice it doesn't WFM - you tend to get a lot of blanks. So the only way I have found is doing it manually, from this page.

Look for the 3rd letter of the dslip code: for pure perl it should be "p". A full explanation of the codes is on the same page, here.
