[kw-pm] auto-deps for perl 'usr lib' directives in makefiles?

[simon-kwpm at uc.org]

Hey Robert,

Are you using ExtUtils::MakeMaker to create your make file? It has tags
for defining dependencies (PREREQ_.*)

i.e.

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'     => 'BorkBork',
    'PREREQ_PM'      => {
       'Some::Module' => 1.0.3,
    },
);

re,
spd
