I expect PAR to only find the modules that Perl does. However, I 
wouldn't mind some warnings about missing modules. There are situations 
where one would check for a particular module in an eval block and then 
exit gracefully. This is especially useful for "plugin" style modules. 
PAR should definitely not fail if it can't find a module, but a warning 
would be very helpful.
