Re: Searching CPAN for instances of dependencies on a module

CPANTS has a kwalitee measure that checks whether a module is a pre-requisite of any other module. So there's probably something in the CPANTS generator that does what you want.

At some point since May (the last posting in this thread), the CPANTS folks apparently decided to make this feature more prominent. I searched for one of my own modules and was pleasantly surprised to see that it's required by other modules I had never heard of! So now, discovering your dependencies is a snap! Of course, the downside of that is: I better make certain I don't break anything in those modules if I make revisions to mine! Jim Keenan	[reply]
