[Bioperl-l] Problems with installing bioperl using PPM3

[Barry Moore]

Omid-

Installing IO-String from source with nmake should work fine.  You might 
want to add Randy Kobes resposity (http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/) 
to your list.  I'm pretty sure that he has IO-String, and some others 
that ActiveState doesn't have.
