OK, thanks.

I guess that, due to the nature of the perl parser, adding this
functionality would be non-trivial?  Or would finding all instances of
use, require and "use lib" be sufficient?  Even this looks like it
could get complex, rather fast, since you can use variables
(potentially) in other modules) as arguments, but I'm not a Perl guru.
