I'm migrating from one server to another and using perl -MCPAN -eautobundle to work out which modules I should be bringing along.

Some modules are a bit problematic at install-time though (mainly due to relying on non-perl libraries etc), and it would be good to be able to see a list of the modules that it wants to install/update, rather than doing a full install of the bundle and looking at large slabs of test output etc.

If you're doing CPAN installs, I recommend using the cpanm tool rather than the CPAN module directly. cpanm has a --scandeps option which will tell you which modules will be installed to satisfy the dependencies of the module you're trying to install, which sounds like exactly you're use-case.
