What?  1.6.1?  That's not right.

Looking in 
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz, we see 
things like:

Bio::Align::AlignI             1.006001  BioPerl-1.6.1.tar.gz
Bio::Align::DNAStatistics      1.006001  BioPerl-1.6.1.tar.gz
Bio::Align::Graphics                  0  BioPerl-1.6.900.tar.gz
Bio::Align::PairwiseStatistics 1.006001  BioPerl-1.6.1.tar.gz
Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics  1.006001  BioPerl-1.6.1.tar.gz
Bio::Align::StatisticsI        1.006001  BioPerl-1.6.1.tar.gz

It looks like 1.6.1 was uploaded with $VERSION of every module, while 
1.6.9 was not (thus the 0 version numbers).  Thus, for all but the 
omodules that were added in 1.6.9, 1.6.1 is being treated by the CPAN 
indexer as the most recent distribution.

This probably calls for another release, 1.6.910 or something, with 
$VERSION in each file.   :-(
