[Bioperl-l] BIOPERL_SAVVY?

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

Ewan, 

I like the idea. We should be consistent with them and document them
clearly. Could you start a document about running bioperl?
Other envparams: BIOPERLDEBUG, OBDA_SEARCH_PATH.

At the same time we should clean the top directory and move all the *pod
files under doc directory.


Actually, we might be able to get rid of those LWP-related error
messages completely. There is a recent module Bio::Root::HTTPget which
could be used as a fallback. (I did not know about it before this
weekend). 

We really need a good clean up of Bio::DB modules and logic. Volunteers
please!
