I had a few hours to spare today, so I ran the tests for the bioperl-live
branch on MacOS 9.1, Perl 5.004.  Besides the difficulty of getting all the
external dependencies working (which I'll write up for the documentation),
there's a few problems that will need to be fixed.

General issues: There's no "make test" on Macs (at least that I've found).
When running *.t manually, every test script that hard-coded 't/filename' as
a input file failed. When the 't/' was removed, scripts ran normally.

Index.t, SearchDist.t, Variation_IO.t all cause MacPerl to crash - both
running the script and checking for syntax errors! The latter makes it hard
for me to diagnose the problem...

Chain.t, LiveSeq.t, and Mutator.t all fail because cluck in Carp is not
supported.

OddCodes.t, SeqAnal.t, SeqStats.t, and Tools.t all seem to pass the tests
but give an error message: Bio:Root:RootI.pm Line 118:  Odd number of
elements in hash list.

SeqFeatureProducer.t    fails - problem with // instead of :: ?

Sim4.t    passes 9/10
    not ok 5
# Test 5 got: '/nfs/disk21/birney/prog/wise2/example/human'
(Cellwall:Documents:Downloads:bioperl-live:t:Sim4.t at line 31)
#   Expected: 'human'


Blast.t Passes 1..24, can't find gzip to finish tests

BPpsilite.t    fails - doesnąt even get started. Spews error messages and
ends with:
# Cellwall:Documents:Downloads:bioperl-live:t:BPpsilite.t has too many
errors.

DB.t    all put one test skipped - can't connect to GenBank?
GDB.t    failed 8/11 tests
    I'm not sure, but I don't think the LWP stuff is working...

largefasta.t    fails
# Can't call method "seek" on unblessed reference, <GEN0> chunk 2.
File 'MacPerl ź:site_perl:Bio:Seq:LargePrimarySeq.pm'; Line 195

largepseq.t    failed immediately - couldn't open tempfile

I'll try to get these entered via the web page so that we can track them.
