How could I find files that use certain modules in CPAN?

perl

cpan

Some modules on CPAN are excellently documented, others.... not so much, but it's usually easy to discern how to use a module via prior art (e.g modules/tests that used the module you're looking to use). I'm wondering what the best way is to find code that uses the code you're looking to use.

example

I want to use (maybe?) Dist::Zilla::App::Tester for something, but the author has elected not to write any documentation on how to use it, some I'm wondering what path of least resistance is to find code that already uses it.

please don't answer for this module

Try Google Code Search, trying to search for strings like "use Dist::Zilla::App::Tester" (quotes are important).
