That seems wrong. Every module you install contains lists of dependencies, one list for runtime, one for build-time. The CPAN shell won’t ask questions about missing dependencies, that is true. But why does that matter? You have the dependency lists anyway. And why would build-time dependencies be a problem by that token, but not runtime dependencies? If you rely on the shell, wouldn’t you have to install each module in a pristine Perl install so the shell will notify you of its dependencies?
