[Bioperl-l] installing BioPerl from CPAN

[Joel Martin]

cpan>readme "B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-0.7.0.tar.gz"
works but w/o the quotes it fails.
Also fails with simply "readme bioperl".

cpan>test "B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-0.7.0.tar.gz"
works, all tests pass except a few due to local 
issues (so I didn't install via cpan).
