[Bioperl-l] problem in installation of bioperl

[Chris Fields]

I would rather leave it, as it restricts any install on any OS to  
using that version, not just ActiveState/Windows.  The module  
dependency is on ActiveState's end (it's their PPM that's listing the  
dependency), not ours, and everything installs fine.  I'll check with  
the ActiveState bug db and see if this has been filed.

Also, just to note, I don't recall this being a problem with  
Strawberry Perl.  The installation there was much simpler and direct,  
straight from CPAN.
