[Bioperl-l] bioperl on MacOS X... a beginner's problems...

[Chris Dagdigian]

The following one-liners just worked for me on Mac OS X 10.2.6 although 
the freakin' CPAN module decided to download and install 5.8.0 for me.

If you are already at perl 5.8.0 and want to install bioperl outside of 
fink the following one liners will do it:

   sudo perl -MCPAN -e'install Bundle::BioPerl'

followed by a cheat to get bioperl; this works because in order to 
install Bio::Seq.pm CPAN will grab all of bioperl and install it:

   sudo perl -MCPAN -e'install Bio::Seq'
