Reverse engineer a list of CPAN modules from stuff in @INC

hartzell has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm working on migrating a community from an old, crufty installation onto a shiny new system.

I'd like to generate a list of files found in directories on @INC and try to generate a list of CPAN modules that accounts for as many of them as possible.

Before I reinvent any unnecessary wheels I thought I should ask for pointers to any existing tools and/or data sets (e.g. list of files contained in various CPAN modules, etc...) that might let me be Lazier.

Thanks for any suggestions.

`perl -MCPAN -e autobundle` [download] Will create a file in ~/.cpan/Bundle directory containing a list of all the installed modules. For bonus points you can even copy that file to another machine, and use CPAN again to install that bundle, automatically installing everything that was installed on the original host. www.jasonkohles.com We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

A quick Google for "find installed perl modules" will give you many options.	[reply]
