[Bioperl-l] scripts/ and examples/ are merged

[Brian Osborne]

bioperl-l,
I'd written earlier that the scripts/ and examples/ directories were mostly
indistinguishable. The initial intention was to put POD-ed, "industrial
strength" scripts in scripts, everything else in examples, but this wasn't
working out. Now everything's in scripts/, examples/ is gone, and there's a
new file called bioscripts.pod which is a POD-ed version of the list of
scripts that was previously in bioperl.pod, it was invisible there. Now
scripts/ is loosely organized into directories that roughly mirror the Bio
directory: "align", "tools", and so on. If you had submitted some scripts
together in a directory (e.g. "das", "seq", "biblio") then the directory is
unchanged, nothing was added to it. A couple of scripts didn't compile, I
removed them and I'll contact the authors, see if they'd like to try again.
And the contributed/ directory is still there, this is for scripts that
don't use Bioperl.
All in all this is a very nice collection of scripts and you might want to
peruse it and look for missing functionality, then contribute any of your
own to fill in the gaps.
