[Bioperl-l] bptutorial.pl question, and appropriate bioperl version question

[Sam Al-Droubi]

Philip,

I am relatively new to bioperl and I started with 1.5.0 and then I upgraded
to 1.5.1 because of a bug.  I suggest you do the same.  As far as I know,
you don't need to uninstall the current version just install the new version
and I think everything will work fine.
