[Bioperl-l] bioperl-1.2 : man pages?

[Fernan Aguero]

Hi!

I'm trying to update the FreeBSD bioperl port and found that
bioperl-1.2 appears to lack man pages. 

My observation goes along as this:

1. I see no 'Manifying ...' during make, nor any of the
common Bio::Seq.3, Bio::Seq::LargeSeq.3, etc

2. bioperl-1.2/blib/man3 looks empty (just a .exists file)
The only thing I see under bioperl-1.2/blib that could
contain man stuff is bioperl-1.2/blib/lib/Bio, which just happens to
have the same stuff as bioperl-1.2/Bio (the make procedure
involves a plain 'cp Bio/<file_here> blib/lib/<file_here>'

However, INSTALL mentions that "you may have some errors
from the pod2man part of the installation" yet I don't see
any. 

Also under "INSTALLING BIOPERL IN A PERSONAL OR PRIVATE
MODULE AREA" it says "And the bioperl man pages will go in:
${PREFIX}/lib/perl5/man/", yet if I install in my home
directory then 'ls -R ${PREFIX} | grep man' gives only
'toomany.pm' as a result.


Perhaps I'm missing something? How do I invoke bioperl help
then? Just 'perldoc module.pm'? Or perhaps we run pod2man on
our own?

No problem with the FreeBSD port, it is working as it is
now. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything
important before submitting the port.
