I find the most reliable way is actually to use the CPAN module.
Alternatively, you could use ExtUtils::Installed.

Here's a (slightly modified) fragment from a program I wrote:

sub list_modules( $$ )
{
    for my $module ( CPAN::Shell->expand( "Module", "/./" )) {
        next unless $module->inst_file;
        print( $module->id, ": ", $module->inst_version,
               ( $module->uptodate ? '' : " (Newer version " .
                 $module->cpan_version . " available)" ), "\n" );
    }
}
