[Bioperl-l] BioPerl CPAN

I agree completely with Ewan's point below:

My team and I are happy to get the ball rolling here.  We can start with our
own software (I'm speaking here of work other than GBrowse and related code,
as Lincoln controls that).  The module that's closest to release is our
Biblio extension.  It would be good to include some other modules, too, so
it's not just an ISB thing.  If people will volunteer their modules, we can
work with them to work out the best way to do it.

Best,
Nat
