=head2 @list = requires( MODULE );

C<requires> can tell you what other modules a particular module
requires. This is particularly useful when you're intending to write
a module for public release and are listing its prerequisites.

C<requires> takes but one argument: the name of a module.
It will then first check if it can actually load this module, and
return undef if it can't.
Otherwise, it will return a list of modules and pragmas that would
have been loaded on the module's behalf.

Note: The list C<require> returns has originated from your current
perl and your current install.

sub requires {
    my $who = shift;

    unless( check_install( module => $who ) ) {
        warn loc(q[You do not have module '%1' installed], $who) if $VERBOSE;
        return undef;
    }

    my $lib = join " ", map { qq["-I$_"] } @INC;
    my $cmd = qq[$^X $lib -M$who -e"print(join(qq[\\n],keys(%INC)))"];

    return  sort
                grep { !/^$who$/  }
                map  { chomp; s|/|::|g; $_ }
                grep { s|\.pm$||i; }
            `$cmd`;

=head1 Global Variables

The behaviour of Module::Load::Conditional can be altered by changing the
following global variables:

=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE

This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will issue warnings and
explanations as to why certain things may have failed. If you set it
to 0, Module::Load::Conditional will not output any warnings.
The default is 0;

=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::FIND_VERSION

This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will try to parse
(and eval) the version from the module you're trying to load. 

If you don't wish to do this, set this variable to C<false>. Understand
then that version comparisons are not possible, and Module::Load::Conditional
can not tell you what module version you have installed.
This may be desirable from a security or performance point of view. 
Note that C<$FIND_VERSION> code runs safely under C<taint mode>.

The default is 1;

=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::CHECK_INC_HASH

This controls whether C<Module::Load::Conditional> checks your
C<%INC> hash to see if a module is available. By default, only
C<@INC> is scanned to see if a module is physically on your
filesystem, or avialable via an C<@INC-hook>. Setting this variable
to C<true> will trust any entries in C<%INC> and return them for
you.

The default is 0;

=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::CACHE

This holds the cache of the C<can_load> function. If you explicitly
want to remove the current cache, you can set this variable to
C<undef>

=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::ERROR

This holds a string of the last error that happened during a call to
C<can_load>. It is useful to inspect this when C<can_load> returns
C<undef>.
