I've got thirty some programs in my system. Some of them require a
successful completion of (an)other program(s) before they can execute.
My project here is to determine which programs need which prerequisite
programs (@prereqs) to run.
Ideally, I should have a line in each file in POD format listing the
prerequisites but all I actually have is that line of code
('my @prereqs = ("forddaily", "russelldaily");').
So, in this context, it's not code, it's documentation and I don't want to
execute "documentation".
