I'll let someone from BioPerl answer that...

Where are these broken links please?

BioPerl development is now on GitHub, using a git repository.

For reporting bugs, BioPerl is still using Redmine, (and the GitHub
issue tracker has not been enabled), see also:
http://bioperl.org/wiki/Bugs

(At some point a migration from Redmine to GitHub seems possible,
we're doing this slowly for Biopython - while BioRuby already moved.)
