find_used_modules is a script to help in the process of upgrading
a perl installation.

It runs through the system looking for perl scripts.  When it finds
them it reads them and looks for "use" and "require" statements.  It
compiles a list of the modules that are actually used.

Once it has its list, it outputs a perl program that can be used to
check a prospective perl instantiation prior to installation to make
sure that all the needed perl modules can at least be use'd.

You can find find_used_modules at:
