The perl runtime may implicitly require certain modules. For example, named captures (%+ and %-) require Tie::Hash::NamedCapture. Globbing ( e.g. <*.c> ) requires File::Glob. Etc..

Scandeps -B should include these modules since it is almost impossible to detect whether they will be actually needed.
