Hi Sendu,
Installation on a clean install of ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 n WindowsXP:
1) nmake is required for CPAN installations
2) I updated CPAN to the latest version
3) Restarted CPAN and did "o conf prefer_installer MB" and "o conf commit"
4) Restarted CPAN and tried the install of bioperl 1.5.2 RC5. I still
get the message saying it's using Makefile.PL and not Build.PL - not
sure why! I'm going to see if updating Module::Build helps. For the time
being I installed anyway.....
5) towards the end of dependency checking I get this:
-- snip --
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

DB_File
Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes]
-- snip --
6) When running the install, DB_File fails to install and that appears
to be the root of the rnamotif test failing:
