[Bioperl-l] Start of obsessive testing; Makefile too long

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

Hilmar,

These tests all pass for me. Could you test a bit more. I am running
perl 5.8.0, maybe your perl is older? Which tests do not pass?


You must have noticed that I've been in this trap quite often lately:
All my numerous tests pass but there are still problems only other
people notice. I am a bit at loss as why. 

One thing is that the test file 'uses' all the modules and mask a
missing dependency in modules. I've resorted to testing modules manually
with "perl -c path/to/module". Is there a better, automatic way?
