Unfortunately, I don't know of any such tool for Java packages,

with Perl, Python, and so on. Anybody know of otool equivalents for
these languages?
For Perl, the best tools are Module::Depends::Intrusive for unpacked
tar.gz packages and Module::ScanDeps for installed software.
Luckily, the Perl community has a strong culture of carefully listing
all dependencies in Makefile.PL or Build.PL or META.yml. The latter
is the best source, since it's a document not code, but it has not
yet been widely adopted in the community.
I have a mkpkg.pl script in experimental/chrisdolan that looks up
Perl modules on CPAN and tries to build .info files for them using
metadata from the files included in the tarball.
