The grep will only get you part of the way there. To get everything,
you have to deal with the run-time require (which might be loading an
optional module, etc.) and platform-specific deps.

Huh? The modules required *are* the dependency list. You don't depend
on a distribution, you depend on a module.
Or have I stumbled into a hypothetical discussion? There's a cpan.org
web site that *does* something?
