[Bioperl-l] IO::String missing

[Marc Logghe]

I think IO::String module is renamed to IO::Scalar at CPAN (the namespace
however is still IO::String). The two related dependencies of BioPerl are
IO::Stringy and IO::Scalar.
Both of them are part of the Biolinux rpm. But you propably should be root
to be able to install bioperl using the rpm.
