[Bioperl-l] Variation_IO.t [was: External dependencies]

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

We better move this discussion back to bioperl-l so that other can
help. I've never ran perl in a Mac.

It seems to me that either the XML modules are not installed properly
or the 
Variation_IO.t is not going through the motions as it should.
