This module provides tools to find a module's dependencies (and their dependencies, and so on) without having to download the modules in their entirety. To install, do the usual dance: less Makefile.PL less lib/CPAN/FindDependencies.pm less t/* those being to ensure that I'm not being evil. then do this to install the module: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (you may need to do this as root)
