True, but it seems to be rare that a module's interface namespace is different from where it lies in the tree so you try to load and fetch version from that before parsing for package. Parsing for package is also uncool because you can have many, which is the one true? If you're lucky all will fall under one e.g; `package Foo; package Foo:Bar; package Foo:Quux` `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV.`	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, parsing perl is uncool but that's exactly how the PAUSE indexer works. In cpandiff - diff local source against CPAN I include a `parse_packages` function which is stripped right from the 457 release of CPAN.	[reply] [d/l]
