It breaks the code but it's not a problem. The question is if it breaks
the syntax. Sometimes it does and sometimes it's not so easy to filter
out modules. However you can make a rule how to use modules and perhaps
your code allows this easy way. E.g. the following example passes
syntax check, just cause runtime error:

#filtered#use Math::Complex;
my $z = Math::Complex->make(4, 2);

Modules are problems not only for your syntax checks so a more complex
solution would be a policy, that every new module must be listed in a
file and installed on the svn server before it can be used. That
external dependency list could be very helpful in the future.
