I recently ran up against the same problem. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any easy way to to solve the problem, so I've been using Sub::Mutate. It's basically for examination and modification of subroutines. Try this script to get started. I left out the mutation methods. You can add them when you think that you're ready.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Sub::Mutate qw(
        sub_body_type
        sub_closure_role
        sub_is_lvalue
        sub_is_constant
        sub_is_method
        sub_is_debuggable
        sub_prototype
);

my $sub = \&finddeps;

my $type_body          = sub_body_type($sub);
my $type_closure       = sub_closure_role($sub);
my $type_is_lvalue     = sub_is_lvalue($sub);
my $type_is_constant   = sub_is_constant($sub);
my $type_is_method     = sub_is_method($sub);
my $type_is_debuggable = sub_is_debuggable($sub);
my $type_prototype     = sub_prototype($sub);

print 
"$type_body,
$type_closure, 
$type_is_lvalue, 
$type_is_constant, 
$type_is_debuggable, 
$type_prototype\n";  
 
sub finddeps {
    
    use CPAN::FindDependencies;
   
    my @dependencies = CPAN::FindDependencies::finddeps();
    foreach my $dep (@dependencies) {
    print ' ' x $dep->depth();
    print $dep->name().' ('.$dep->distribution().")\n";
  }
}
