[Bioperl-l] PPM files for bioperl, bioperl-db

[Chris Fields]

My bad.  I checked through CPAN and the Activestate website for those last
two.  HTML::Entities is included with HTML::Parser, which is part of the
Activestate Perl core.  IO::Scalar is included with IO::Stringy, which is
available.  If I set up the PPD file, should I remove all the dependencies
since not all of them are needed, or leave the ones that matter (DB_File,
etc) in?

Chris,

It looks like IO::Scalar is no longer used, it _was_ used by
Bio::Tools::Blast. HTML::Entities is used by Bio::SearchIO::blastxml.
