Igal,

This is working for me on 5.10.0, ubuntu 9.04:

use strict;
use warnings;

use ExtUtils::Installed;
use Data::Dumper;

my $pl = ExtUtils::Installed->new;
print Dumper [$pl->files("ack")];

It could not, however, find the packlist for Data::Dumper. Perhaps
because it's a part of the stdlib, but I suspect you already know this.

HTH.
