[Bioperl-l] Bioperl 1.5.2 RC2

Hi Chris,

Yup, that's it.  I installed XML::SAX::ExpatXS (make test output  
below).  Should there be a note somewhere in the INSTALL docs saying  
basically what you just wrote?  Or maybe it's already there somewhere  
and I missed it.

Also, I'd propose changing BioDBSeqFeature_mysql.t so that it checks  
if DBD::mysql can be loaded, and if not doesn't run the test.  Since  
the file is only one-line long, here's the modified file rather than a  
patch:
################################################################
BEGIN {
         # DBD::mysql is required
         eval {
                 require DBD::mysql;
                 };
         if ( $@ ) {
                 use Test::More skip_all => "DBD::mysql is not  
installed or is installed incorrectly - skipping BioDBSeqFeature
_mysql.t";
                 exit(0);
                 }
         }

system "perl t/BioDBSeqFeature.t -adaptor DBI::mysql -create 1 -temp 1  
-dsn test";
################################################################

And when I run it I get:
t/BioDBSeqFeature_mysql......skipped
         all skipped: DBD::mysql is not installed or is installed  
incorrectly - skipping BioDBSeqFeature_mysql.t

And for the overall make test:
All tests successful, 3 tests and 106 subtests skipped.
Files=236, Tests=11642, 247 wallclock secs (143.85 cusr + 20.39 csys =  
164.24 CPU)

Hope this helps,
Paul
