Thanks for that.

Really interesting, but fun? I'm actually kind of frightened by it ;)
In some crazy dream I'd like to see the pod and sub columns at 100% for 
all modules in time for Bioperl 1.6. From a brief scan though it seems 
like an incredible amount of work would be needed.

Doing the POD would be relatively easy. Does anyone feel inspired to 
take on that particular challenge I wonder?


PS. Did you run this with BIOPERLDEBUG=1 ? I have t/RemoteBlast.t 
hanging on me atm.
