It's kinda documented if you know where to look :)

http://search.cpan.org/~rschupp/Module-ScanDeps-0.98/lib/Module/ScanDeps.pm#NOTES
about $Module::ScanDeps::ScanFileRE
We can definitely add a remark along these lines to the pp's POD.
Or we can fix it by calling into Module::ScanDeps with
$Module::ScanDeps::ScanFileRE = qr/./;
This is definitely how perl itself works: the command line
and "require" do NOT discriminate against any suffix (or lack of).
