With or without running the code?

  END {warn join("\n", sort keys %INC);}

Also see Module::ScanDeps, Devel::TraceLoad, and 
http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/Devel-TraceDeps/trunk/.

Note that CPAN::Unwind is just using Module::Depends::Intrusive.  This 
tells you what a distribution will install, but not necessarily what it 
needs.
