[Bioperl-l] Bad news for 5.0004 compatibility

[Ewan Birney]

It looks like we are seriously out of whack for 5.0004 compatibility.

  Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed

okay.


A fair proportion of these are 


- Not skipping tests correctly when File::Temp is not installed. (I hope
File::Temp becomes part of the standard Perl bundle ...)


- The entire LiveSeq modules are not quoting the hash values, ie, going

   $self->{seq} = $something 

rather than

   $self->{'seq'} = $something

5.0004 takes offence to the former. 




I'm going to start clearing these things up ...
