[Bioperl-l] bioperl - must it have mysql to work?

[Sciencelife@aol.com]

it sounds like I want to use bioperl "core" then.  Which download is that?  I want for Solaris sparc 
& for windows.

I want to use with oracle if possible or if 
not then on its own merit with no particular
database (if not with Oracle).

I want to use bioperl without using mysql or
postgres ( if possible) unless you can tell me
why is should use mysql (given that I'd rather
not manage 2 databases since we use oracle).
