[Bioperl-l] Modern BioPerl vs. Ensembl

[George Hartzell]

There's a warning at Ensembl about the perl api code depending on an
old version of bioperl (1.2.3)

  http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/webcode/install/ensembl-code.html

Does anyone have current information about that dependency?

My quick-n-dirty tests suggest that one can't build an app that uses
both new Bioperl and the ensembl api without ensembl picking up the
newer bioperl libraries (or your app getting the older ones).  It's
not clear what parts of the ensembl world depend on the older BioPerl.

Anyone have any recipes to make it work?

Any info on a possible modernization of the ensembl code?

Thanks,

g.
