=head1 NAME

pmload - show what files a given module loads at compile time

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Given an argument of a module name, show all the files 
that are loaded directly or indirectly when the module
is used at compile-time.

=head1 NOTE

If the programmers used a delayed C<require>, those files won't show up.
Furthermore, this doesn't show all possible files that get opened,
just those that those up in %INC.  Most systems have a way to trace
system calls.  You can use this to find the real answer.  First, get a
baseline with no modules loaded.

    $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | perl -nle '/^open\("(.*?)".* = [^-]/ && print $1'
    /etc/ld.so.cache
    /lib/libnsl.so.1
    /lib/libdb.so.2
    /lib/libdl.so.2
    /lib/libm.so.6
    /lib/libc.so.6
    /lib/libcrypt.so.1
    /dev/null

    $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
    8

Now add module loads and see what you get:

    $ strace perl -MIO::Socket -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
    24

    $ strace perl -MTk -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
    35
