perldoc perllocal
This will tell you only the modules you've installed above and beyond
the standard perl installation base. i.e., for 'perldoc perllocal'
to be of any help, you have to have manually (or via CPAN) installed
the modules your self.
Unfortunately, this does not work for modules installed via Debian's
apt-get mechanism, since these all install under the standard
install-base hierarchy, not the 'local' tree, which is where
modules above and beyond the core set get installed.

While I love Ben's approach for providing that information, I'd have to
say that it's almost not necessary now :)
