This is an interesting question. A few days ago I wondered myself about Moose. Please let us know if you find something. The hard way would be for each distribution on CPAN to look for the META.yml file and count prerequisites building a global hash (o dbm-like file). If there is no *yml file (case of older distributions) you'll have to parse Makefile.PL (o Build.PL)I guess. In the case of Makefile.PL, you can redefine WriteMakefile to simply return a list, convert it to hash, and use the PREREQS_PM entry (not tried, but seems easy enough...)
