WebService:: namespace

Good Lord - a CPAN search on WebService modules returns 1,347 hits... No, doing this by hand is stupid.

Instead, we turn to CPAN::Mini to make a local CPAN mirror of just the latest versions of all known packages. Then we'll steal Randall Schwartz's code from here to walk the package list, and see what we can find there. I suppose what I'll want to do is open the gzipped file, which contains a tar archive I suppose, then get the META.yaml for explicit dependencies, then scan all *.pm files and read their use declarations for actual dependencies.

So - away!
