DESCRIPTION

This is experimental.

CPAN::Flatten flattens cpan module requirements without install.

As you know, the cpan world allows cpan modules to configure themselves dynamically. So the actual requirements can not be determined unless you install them to your local machines.

But, I think dynamic configuration is generally harmful, and we should avoid that.

So what happens if we flattens cpan module requirements without install?
