So why don't I list them? Seeing a long list of dependencies can put some people off using a module. Yes, that's primary reason why I care about dependencies. None of CPAN tools can clearly show that module use just a few non-Core dependencies, and instead shows long-long tail of core modules and testing modules.

Funny :) I don't remember seeing any wishlist items bug reports about someone wanting non-core dependencies hilighted

corelist can tell you if something is core, so all you have to do is filter whatever through corelist

OTOH, scandeps doesnt list core modules by default
