I think you should forget the standard modules and not even start ot think about CPAN. There's probably some clever way to come up with a calltip in a large number of cases, but would it be useful?

Suppose I typed "Data::Dumper->Dump(" and got "[@ARRAY], [@ARRAY]". How would that help?

IMHO, calltips are fine for the builtin functions, but they are not going to help you with anything but the most simplistic modules.

Cudos for all the good and fast work you are doing on Padre. I hope I will succeed in installing it one of these days.
