[Bioperl-l] Bundle::BioPerl and 07 release

[Chris Dagdigian]

In December I wrote and uploaded to CPAN the Bundle::BioPerl module which
can be used with CPAN.pm to automatically install most of the external
modules our codebase makes use of.

I took a quick look at the bioperl-live Makefile.PL to see what external
packages it was currently looking for and didn't see any 07
specific changes. The  current  Bundle::BioPerl package will install the
modules I've listed below.

Questions for bioperl people:

	o Any external (CPAN) modules missing from my list?
	o Any objections to mentioning Bundle::BioPerl in Makefile.PL ?
