Neat. Just a few Perl nits (sorry, couldn't resist).

This:

> +		} elsif ($module1 eq $module2) {

can be written more idiomatically (and readably, IMHO):

        return $value1 <=> $value2 || $module1 cmp $module2;

And this:

> +	$thismod = $ARGV[$i];

could be:

  foreach $thismod (@ARGV) {

Instead of this:

some may prefer:

                $symbol = (split /([,"])/)[4];

If you instead use

        my %depends;

the variable will be lexically scoped to the body of the loop and thus
undef at the start of each iteration. I notice the lack of 'use strict'
and lexically scoped variables throughout this script, which makes it
less readable and maintainable than possible, IMHO.
