[Bioperl-l] Module names

[Jason Eric Stajich]

Great - can you do that for your new Gene modules then especially since
these are not in any distributions yet and won't really mess up anyone's
code. (whenever you get the chance)  We might be able to just move the RCS
files on the server if you want to keep the logs otherwise delete and add
is best option.
