[Bioperl-l] bug #1396: *.PL to *.pod conversion is broken, makebailsout

[Brian Osborne]

Lincoln,

You'd mentioned something about using @@VERSION@@ but my searches using this
word or "@@" didn't turn up anything. Can you direct me to a man page or Web
page or application that discusses this?

Brian O.

I'm not sure how a non-interpolated HERE-document looks, but as a
matter of fact biodesign.PL and biodatabases.PL were all one document,
and variables were interpolated all over the place.

Lincoln fixed this by manually escaping all variables.

Most of the interpolated variables do not yield errors. Only the arrays
(@arr) do. Scalars silently result in emptiness.

I guess you noticed the move to pub.open-bio.org meanwhile.
