App::CPAN::Dependents

App::CPAN::Dependents provides the function "find_all_dependents"
(exportable on demand) for the purpose of determining all distributions
which are dependent on a particular CPAN distribution or module.

This module uses the MetaCPAN API, and must perform several requests
recursively, so it may take a long time (sometimes minutes) to complete.
If the function encounters HTTP errors (including when querying a
nonexistent module or distribution) or is unable to connect, it will
die.

This module will only find distributions that explicitly list
prerequisites in metadata; "dynamic_config" will not be used. Also, it
assumes the MetaCPAN API will correctly extract the provided modules for
distributions, so any unindexed or unauthorized modules will be ignored.

See cpan-dependents for command-line usage.
