[Bioperl-l] bioperl-run for windows?

[Jason Stajich]

It uses perl system calls to execute a program - usually just the 
backticks approach.

Honestly I have no idea how much success you will have.  If you use 
Cygwin it will probably do okay for most programs, but I have never 
made any attempt to run any of it myself under windows. You'll have to 
see if any other list members have experiences.  We tried to make the 
code flexible (adding .exe to the names of executables, etc) when the 
program is being run on windows.

You'll just have to give it a try and report in with problems.
