[Bioperl-l] Bioperl installation doubt

[Chris Fields]

Brian,

I think this was started:

http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Bptutorial.pl

It certainly could be cleaned up, organized, and updated (that and the FAQ).  Makes sense to have it as a HOWTO or maybe split it into several HOWTOs.  Maybe even combine it with the beginner's HOWTO into various sections?
