in reply to What to name a module?

Isn't there code that already does this -- Makefile.PL already tracks down these dependencies. If you're just wanting to list these modules perhaps you could provide a hook into the existing code.

Having said that, I don't like the name CPAN::Distribution::Depends Sounds too much like adult diapers or something.

How about CPAN::TraceDependencies or something like that?

    No, there isn't. Makefile.PL does not track down dependencies, it specifies them. I'm working on a module that parses (not traces) the dependency information for an indexing system to use.
