I'm trying to exclude modules based on a wildcard such as:

That feature doesn't exist. I originally thought it should be simple to
implement: Just accept strings of the form /.../ as regexes which act on
module names. But it turns out to be much more difficult than just the
interface :/
After all, -M and -X, which are implemented in much the same way, work
on module names and file names. (Though the latter use is deprecated.)
How do you match file names with a pattern for module names? That isn't
going to fly, hence the change would have to make the treatment of -M
and -X asymmetric. Given that, Module::ScanDeps would have to be changed
to accept regexes instead of literal module names for skipping. Problem
is, right now, it gets passed a hash of 'Skip::Name' => 1 which is used
as a look-up table...
I suppose it would be possible to do, but certainly quite a bit of work
and prone to break.
If you plane to use it for packaging into .par files, you can use
Archive::Zip or PAR::Dist to remove all of lib/URI/*. But of course,
that's a hack.
Does anybody have a better idea?
