[Bioperl-l] Bioperl-ext (staden::read) install issues

[Bob Freeman]

Jason,

I remember reading a past posting about the possibility of commenting 
out the EVAL statement in Bio::SeqIO.pm (lines 315-317):

sub BEGIN {
#    eval { require Bio::SeqIO::staden::read; };
}

It certainly does eliminate the runtime error thrown by Perl about 
Bio::SeqIO::staden::read not being installed correctly. Any comments 
on whether or not this should be done?
