Print a list of installed Perl modules

This version works on an AIX system on which I have very limited permissions. The other version fails with "Can't open file /usr/opt/perl588/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix/auto/DBI/.packlist".
This is sample output - yours may be different.

What Others Think

Debian is Ok, but I don't have it running anywhere. dpkg is proprietary to Debian systems.
