Dave,

I looked at the scripts, and like you I concluded they didn't use that local Bio/ directory. Then I ran then with and without that Bio/ directory, same results. So I removed that local Bio/ directory.

Rob, does some additional action need to be taken by Chris, or some other Bioperl maintainer, at CPAN/PAUSE?
