[Bioperl-l] Bio-Root has no Build.PL

[Fields, Christopher J]

It can have one, but it would be wiped by a dzil release run (which creates a Build.PL for the releases as it handles lots of the specific steps of a release, such as POD syntax checking, tests, etc).  The only other reason would be to have a way of installing it locally, but I’m not sure of the utility of that on a master branch.  Test runs can be done with ‘prove -lr t/‘, so is there any (good!) reason to have it?

Also, it’s not on CPAN b/c there hasn’t been a 1.7 release yet (that would be the first with Bio::Root as a separate release, the 1.6.x branch in bioperl-live still has it).  I’ll check in with Francisco on the status of a final 1.6.x release, there were a few things pending on the Windows end but maybe they’re addressed.  There is one blocking issue re: versions assigned to the modules that caused problems with v.1.6.923.
