Ah okay, I misunderstood. If it works for other CPAN installs, it  
should work for BioPerl.

I'll take a look at this later.

In the meantime, you can certainly do as Chris recommended earlier and  
not 'install' and just add bioperl-run/lib to your PERL5LIB.

As he said, that's better anyway, since you can keep up-to-date with  
the latest bug fixes and changes by simply doing 'git pull'.
