1) Not sure what those huge "L" blocks are in the code blocks.
2) Do you think the dependency list of this thing could be massaged and fed into perlmaven.com/graphviz2-parse-isa

1) Not sure what you mean by those huge L blocks.
2) That appears to be about inheritance, not dependencies.

1) The huge L blocks are gone - must've been some browser screwup.
2) Sure, but a graph is a graph. Updating cpandeps to spits out a graph might be interesting.

CPAN::FindDependencies does all the heavy lifting so feel free to use it to produce any format output you like :-) But beware that it won't produce a full graph of dependencies: a module such as Test::More might be a dependency of many different things, but will only appear once in the output.
