Hello,

      I don't know a way to do this directly - however, you could write a Perl
program to statically analyse your "use" chain. This would be a recursive
routine such that when a "use" statement is encountered, that "use'd" module
is inspected, for any "use's" within. This process is carried out until a
module
which has no dependencies is encountered, then the dependency tree is climbed.
A list would then be constructed. This technique is similar conceptually
to traversing a hierarchical directory structure (and dropping down a level
when a sub-directory is encountered).

      If this isn't clear please mail me. If anyone does know a better way
to check the modules a running MacPerl program is using, please advise.

Bob
