[Bioperl-l] Installing bioperl-ext on Mac

[Steve Chervitz]

Hi Jon,

I'd recommend downloading it into a separate location of your choosing
(~/lib/bioperl-ext for example) and running the installer as specified
in the docs that come with the download. Then you can include the
location you installed it into via a "use lib '~/lib/bioperl-ext'"
statement at the top of your script. It may be handy to install it as
a non-root user so that you don't alter the main perl installation.

This way your ext install will stay separate from your main bioperl
and perl installations.

There are some docs about the ext packages you might want to check out
at http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Ext_package.
