Is anybody maintaining a list of CPAN module dependencies?

I am working on a project to show CPAN Tester Results on a module per platform, with dependencies. So if one does not see test results for platform 'x' on a module, one can look at dependencies to see if that is because a dependent module fails on that platform.

The only way I can see to produce this information is to download each module and use existing dependency scanning modules (there are two or three of them, at least).

That's a lot of work I'd rather avoid if somebody else has dependency information available.

(Also, if my idea overlaps with an existing project, I'd like to know about it too.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
