[Bioperl-l] Have problem to install bioperl, need help

[Jason Stajich]

Just force it.  The tests are more for the developers' benefit than for
those installing Bioperl.

I believe most of these failed tests are fixed in CVS.  The Variation_IO
has to do with how the older XML::Writer worked as compared to the current
version.  DB.t test was due to a bug in the released module.  Don't
remember what the TreeIO problem was.
