[Bioperl-l] Help installing BioPerl

[Michael Robeson]

I'd rather not add lines to my scripts because I distribute them among 
colleagues and it would be a pain to alter them every time a make a 
script. Well, being that I am still new to BioPerl and Perl in general, 
I do not have any experience in manipulating this PERL5LIB variable or 
how to do that. I have re-ran the CPAN-based install 4 times to no 
avail (as root even). How do I find a location that is known to PERL 
and where do I find this INSTALL file?

Hmm, seems like I should just write things from scratch rather than use 
BioPerl. Much less troubleshooting, ehh? Naa, I'd still rather try 
installing/using BioPerl   :-)

Sorry, about this but I am trying to learn. I am trying to follow along 
with the "perl for bioinformatics" books but they are of no use when it 
comes to trouble shooting bio::perl.

-Thanks
