[Bioperl-l] Re: go-perl

Hi Daniel

In general you should be wary of forcing an install if the tests fail

However, in this case I can tell you that none of the failed tests are of
any consequence for either go-db-perl (bioperl isn't required at all for
go-perl)  or the semantic similarity tool

Cheers
Chris
