I wrote a perl script just yesterday to do exactly this. The script returns the list of perl modules installed in @INC using the '::' as the separator. Call the script using -

perl perlmod.pl

OR

perl perlmod.pl  #Case-insensitive(eg. perl perlmod.pl ftp)

As of now the script skips the current directory('.') since I was having problems with recursing soft-links but you can include it by changing the grep function in line 17 from

  grep { $_ !~ '^\.$' } @INC

to just,

@INC

The script can be found here.
