[Bioperl-l] Installation Problems

I'm new to Bioperl and am trying to complete an installation. The
company has a Solaris server, and I don't have write privileges to the
perl5/site_perl source area, so I followed the instructions to install
to a personal module area.
In addition to the bioperl-1.2.3 tar file, I also ran installations for
bioperl-ext-06, Bundle-BioPerl-2.05 and a separate installation for
IO-String-1.02. In every case, I used: PREFIX=/home/bmadsen/bjm_perl as
a parameter in building the makefile, and all of the installations were
successful.
Still, when I run the bptutorial.pl file, I get the error: "Can't locate
IO/String.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ..." followed by a half-dozen
notices about failed compilation. I've even tried copy the String.pm
file into the bioperl-1.2.3 directory, but it doesn't help.
I have already printed bptutorial.pl and am reading through it, but I
had hoped to run it interactively. Any advice?
Thanks
-Brian
