[Bioperl-l] use modules in a PC

[Hilmar Lapp]

If you didn't run make install yet then the distribution hasn't been 
placed under perl's standard search path yet (since bioperl is pure 
perl, make/make install doesn't do much more than that, and perl 
Makefile.PL only generates the Makefile). You can still use it by 
adding the path to your array of library directories. E.g., try

	c:/> perl -e "use lib 'c:/where/I/unpacked/bioperl/'; use Bio::Seq;'

There is an INSTALL document in the distribution tailored to Windows. 
You may want to read it.
