[Bioperl-l] Newbie question installing on MacOSX

[James Platt]

when I'm in the directory it exits silently. When I'm not...

James$ perl -MBio::Seq -e ''
Can't locate Bio/Seq.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /sw/lib/perl5/darwin- 
thread-multi-2level /sw/lib/perl5 /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /Library/Perl/ 
Updates/5.8.8 /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level / 
System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread- 
multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/ 
5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/ 
Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread- 
multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6 / 
Library/Perl/5.8.1 .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

I guess I need to try install it again.
