[Bioperl-l] After Checkout of Bioperl-live version doesn't seem to change

[Scott Cain]

Hi Lacey,

Did it return "1.006" or 1.0069 exactly, which is what it should
return if you are using bioperl-live?  As for older versions of
BioPerl, if you go down the install route (which is what I generally
do), you can do the standard build procedure:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
sudo ./Build install --uninst 1

and that last part (--uninst 1) will remove older versions of the
modules installed elsewhere.  If you want to hunt down where GBrowse
installed bioperl, first you could look in the typical linuxy places,
like /usr/share/perl or /usr/lib/perl for the Bio directory, but
deleting that directory will also delete Bio::Graphics, which isn't
part of bioperl anymore.

Using PERL5LIB will put your specified bioperl at the front of the
list for when things get used, so even if you have bioperl installed
elsewhere, that one should get used.
