To summarize after the false-start yesterday:

The use case in question is that I am preparing to replace 
Module::Install's `perl Makefile.PL && make listdeps` idiom with a 
pure-EUMM-based "something else".

I was looking for available prior art in order to converge on *naming*. 
Given further searching and the replies in this thread, I am simply 
going to recreate the 'listdep' target more-or-less-as-is.

Thanks for the thoughts!
Cheers
