Yes - it's version 3.27 on 10.3.1, also installed with fink.

thanks, I'll try that.


BTW, I am the maintainer of bioperl for fink. I am using the 1.303 
release to test for the next package version.

One thing that I noticed is that the scripts are directly installed 
into /sw/bin instead of in the directory that is actually used to build 
the package (/sw/src/root-bioperl-pm/sw/bin/). I have looked at 
Makefile.PL, but my knowledge of perl is not that good that I could 
figure out why this happens. Is there a way that I can patch 
Makefile.PL so that the scripts get installed in the place required for 
fink?

thanks,


- Koen.
