[Bioperl-l] cpan indexing

[Chris Fields]

New BioPerl uploaded, version 1.6.901.  The PAUSE indexer has all modules with a 1.006901 version, even if $VERSION isn't directly set.  Appears that META.json/yml are parsed for the version and not each module (it's what the dist_version option is supposed to be used for); just uncommented some Bio::Root::Build code that was apparently used for this reason and it seems to work now.
