I was, but it is atm very hard to get simple things queried from the CPANTS (or CPAN or whatever) database. There is a package list, but it only includes author/file info, no dependencies, license etc. There is also CPANTS database, which includes the stuff, but is outdated (e.g. from 2005-12-05) I thought about writing my own stuff, but I am completely overloaded with other work atm. It would be cool to generated whatever graphs/stats from CPAN easily, though. And if you have easily dependency information, you could even easily build an auto-bundler, that throws you a .tar.gz containing the module and every nec. dependency in one go. best wishes, tels -- Signed on Tue Apr 4 18:54:00 2006 with key 0x93B84C15.
