[Bioperl-l] installing bioperl

[Matthew A. Saunders]

In continuation to my described problem, I have just installed the 
bioperl-run file from the .tar.gz format and that was successful through 
the "perl Makefile.PL" and the "make" & "make test" phases.

It is the "bioperl core" file that is still giving me the problems 
described below.

Thanks!

Matt
