[Bioperl-l] Bioperl core 1.4 make error: line too long

[Jason Stajich]

Also check that you have the latest ExtUtils::MakeMaker which is 
culprit module creating the makefile in the first place and which 
didn't account for the possibility that there would be packages with as 
many modules.

Other suggestions have been posted on this topic several times on the 
mailing list.
