[Bioperl-l] Budle::BioPerl dependency issues

[gang wu]

It turned out that most of the modules of BioPerl were not installed at 
all. And none of the scripts were installed. I had to download and 
install bioperl-1.5.2-RC3.tar.gz 
<http://bioperl.org/DIST/bioperl-1.5.2-RC3.tar.gz> again. A similar 
problem when installing bioperl-db-1.5.2-RC3.tar.gz. So I manually 
copied all stuff under Bio folder to the corresponding Perl library 
folder. Is it Ok to do it in this way?
