I've just filed a bug report which turns on this behaviour in
the BioPerl modules which require internet access.  Take a
look at:

http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1482

...two quick changes to core modules and you're good to go.

I've also just noticed that there's a typo in the report.
The second module should be Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery.pm

Hope this helps

Simon.
