It was actually 515 modules & test scripts from live, 48 from run, 21
from db and 2 from network.

Now committed. Before and after my changes these were failing:


Failed Test     Stat Wstat Total Fail  List of Failed

t/BioGraphics.t    3   768    38    3  3-5

t/genbank.t        2   512   247    2  122-123


BioGraphics failure caused by Graphics Panel.pm 1.135 -> 1.136
(unintentional?).

Sopma may not be a bug: results from server might have changed.

genbank caused by genbank.t 1.20 -> 1.21 and presumably genbank.pm 1.163
-> 1.164 not doing what the new tests expect.

PodSyntax is new and obviously a bunch of POD needs fixing: Nathan, are
you working on that, or can I fix those errors?

Anyone care to look into those things?

Cheers,
Sendu.
