PPM::Make can help with this issue; it searches (via a remote SOAP server) for package names corresponding to module prerequisites, and if the package name is not found, or if it happens to be perl itself (which is the case for Hash::Util and Carp), it won't be listed as a DEPENDENCY in the ppd file. Furthermore, if the package is included in the additional non-core list of packages that the latest Win32 ActivePerl distribution provides (see the %ap_core hash of PPM::Make::Util for a list), this also won't be added as a DEPENDENCY - this is the case for Win32::OLE, which is provided by the libwin32 package, which is part of the Win32 ActivePerl distribution.
