[Bioperl-l] Warnings

[Heikki Lehvaslaiho]

My guess is that using 'print STDERR' avoids showing sometimes annoying 
   errordescription  at programname line  NN
syntax being used.

On the other hand, the main reason we need to set verbosity to 1 in BioPerl 
objects is to find where warnings are coming from. Maybe extra text in 
warnings leads to easier debugging.

I favour changing it.
