[Bioperl-l] Re: What to do with the DBGFF tests...

I know what you mean.  For what it's worth, the prompt is consistent with the 
way that the LWP, Term::Key and Term::ReadLine modules also make you stop and 
answer a bunch of questions.  I like the idea of a compromise that skips the 
test entirely if the DBI modules are not installed, but 
continue to ask intrusive questions if it finds it can run the tests.
