It would be even more handy if it could tell me the order in which I needed to install the missing dependencies
That would be handy, agreed, but usually when using cpan or cpanp(not sure about cpanm, never used it), the dependencies are automatically installed for you. That's handy, until one distribution in the chain of many decides to fail on a test or make, in which case you get to start over again(for the most part).

I don't think I can do it with just CPANDeps' XML, I would likely have to poll many sources to get that information.
