I think there is an issue with tempfile/tempdir creation in WinXP that is
hidden for the most part unless verbose is set.  The BioDBSeqFeature  tests
don't work b/c it can't create a tempdir and dies early on.  Other
scripts/tests which create tempfiles don't have the same issue, though.
It's something that needs looking into but I haven't had time for it.

I think it may be related to the way perl is set up on WinXP.  It's not a
killer bug but will lead to an accumulation of temp files and temp dirs
wherever TEMP is set.

Randy Kobes still has a repository strictly used for perl 5.6.1; I'm not
sure about the others.  I agree, though; we should only support ActivePerl
5.8 or above, especially if it is a real chore getting bioperl running on
it.

BTW, I did get it up-and-running using perl 5.6.1, but I also found it to be
too much trouble compared to v 5.8.

Note that the protgraph.t issue was resolved (you need the newest
Class::Autoclass, 1.01), but we don't plan on doing anything about it as we
plan on deprecating the Bio::Graph modules.  We're awaiting word from Nat
Goodman to get his opinion on the matter.
