[Bioperl-l] Bioperl 1.6

[Mark A. Jensen]

I will play around with it-- in the meantime, Guohong, please look at the 
following
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_on_Windows#Comand-line_Installation
where there is a workaround for this issue, using the ppm-shell--
cheers,
Mark

Mark,

Odd issue, maybe it's a dependency like Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene that's causing 
this?  Regardless, it's problematic for me to test this out directly, at least 
for the next few days.  Maybe someone could try it?

Also, there is the Strawberry Perl alternative, which uses CPAN (I think 
ActiveState also supports this).
