[Bioperl-l] Bioperl installation doubt

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

I'll get started on dissembling bptutorial. There's certainly useful text in there but there's also duplicated or outdated material. Looks like there are 3 options for any given section:

- put it into an existing HOWTO
- make it into a new HOWTO
- delete it
