Subject: Eating CPAN - Was Port A Library.

CPAN has 9502 modules.

So the suggestion is to port a few.

The question is which one.

Well CPAN has a notion of a dependency network.

Imagine if CPAN module XXX was missing, how many other modules would 
suddenly not work?

Obviously then the place to start porting is those modules which enable 
most other modules.

So we need a script that will chew on CPAN's dependency network and 
prioritise the CPAN modules.
