SPUG: How find non-OO modules

I once entertained the notion that *::Simple modules might
generally provide non-OO interfaces to related Object
oriented modules (which is true of LWP::Simple vs. LWP),
but unfortunately, this is far from true.
So can somebody tell me if there's an easy way to find
modules, related to a certain topic, that are not OO?
Sure, you can reject those whose docs provide matches for the
telltale "->" sequence in the Synopsis section, but I'm
wondering if there's an easier way. IIRC, CPAN's PAUSE
system asks when you upload a module if it's OO or not,
which suggests to me that that info should be available
somewhere, and possible searchable. Any thoughts?
