I recently install 5.8.0. The Makefile.PL I got from the trunk also has 
the additional line to include rmtree, so I am not sure if the version 
of File::Path is an issue.

I see - I didn't realize that. The perl path fix btw is not effected by 
my change.

I am trying to make a package for fink to install bioperl on Mac OS X, 
so I rather not use the cvs trunk, but only 'real releases'. Thsi to 
make sure that everyone who wants to use fink to install bioperl uses 
the same code.

thanks for the info,
