[Bioperl-l] ActiveState Perl problems

[Chris Fields]

Kobes keeps two separate repos because there are several binary-only  
modules (DBD::mysql, GD, etc) which are incompatible with older major  
perl releases (5.6, 5.8, 5.10).  If the modules are pure perl then  
there shouldn't be a problem.

Saying that, there is one issue which tanks Bio::SeqIO::entrezgene  
parsing (which mistakenly made pseudohashes) which Stefan and I fixed  
recently; that'll tank in perl 5.10.
