Wow, by patching out every instance of the word "use" in the source.

-        } elsif ($format eq 'int16u') {     # use the offset as the value
+        } elsif ($format eq 'int16u') {     # choose the offset as the value

Scary.  Which brings up a couple of questions:

*) Why not just use a dependency filter instead of hacking the source?
   That patch will have to be redone everytime the source changes.

*) Are of these changes are really necessary?  Surely the dependency
   generator skips PODs and comments.  I'd be truly concerned if it
   doesn't.
