I'm currently thinking about a new CPANTS metric (and I even have a

it, before spending more time on it (or even releasing it..)
The metric will be called prereq_matches_use and shall check if all
the
modules used in a dist are also listed as a prereq. (prereq is either
gatherd directly from Meta.YMLs 'requires', by parsing Build.PL or
Makefile.PL)
As you might know this is quite tricky, because some modules live in
strange dists (e.g. HTTP::Request -> libwww-perl)
There was already a module that does this, I can't remember it's
name, and it insisted that each module after a use was listed in
PREREQ_PM, which was quite bothersome because it wanted both LWP and
HTTP::Request to be listed for example.
and some modules are in Core (I'll check this with Module::CoreList).
Each time I here "checking with Module::CoreList", I wonder which
version will be tested against.

What do you think?
