Apart from dynamic dependencies, it is a SMOP to extract this from
CPANdeps. If anyone wants to help out with that, then the data already
exists in db/META.yml/*{yml,json} and db/reverse/*.dd, so you just need
to load the files and grovel over the resulting data structures.
If you just want to do a one-off report, then I expect that it wouldn't
hurt too badly if you just scraped the website with URLs like this:
http://deps.cpantesters.org/depended-on-by.pl?module=XML::Feed
