How about just extracting module use from the tests? The current version in
CVS (
http://cpanspec.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/cpanspec/cpanspec/cpanspec
) has a simple stab at this idea.
Interestingly, see how badly it blows up on Module::ExtractUse's tests. :-)

That would take more code, but it would probably be better in the long run...
