[Bioperl-l] How to get rid of warnings

[Hilmar Lapp]

There is a variable Bio::Root::VERBOSITY which is returned by  
Bio::Root::Root::verbose() if called as a function (as opposed to a  
method).

The accompanying comment says that this would enable global verbosity  
setting, but I don't see the piece of code that would actually set  
the variable, let alone defaulting the per-instance value to it if a  
different one was never set.

I'm not sure whether I'm overlooking something (quite possible) but  
if I'm not this sounds like a bug. Also, I thought that the value of  
some environment variable would be taken into account but in the code  
I don't see any indication of that being true either.

If no-one sets me straight can you file this as a bug report?
