find_used_modules

This program is meant as a tool for upgrading perl installations. It will find perl modules used by on the system. It walks the filesystem looking for perl programs. It reads them. It tries to figure out what modules they use.

It then builds a checker perl program that uses every module used by any program on the system. When you run the checker program, it tells you what modules it couldn't load and why that's important (which program originally used the module).

This isn't a perfect program or process but it can help when trying to upgrade complex perl installations.
