[Bioperl-l] Bioperl-live has (near) empty Bio::Root::Root?

[John Chen]

Hi,

I have perlbrew with perl-5.8.9 installed. And I tried to get the 
bioperl-live via Git following the instruction on bioperl official site:
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Using_Git

However, it seems the testing bioperl version encountered error (below) 
immediately.
Manually checking the cloned bioperl-live revealed there is only one module 
HTTPget.pm under Bio/Root (see below),
I also check the online Github bioperl-live repository, the  Bio/Root 
folder indeed only contain only one modeul:  HTTPget.pm

is this normal or I need to use some alternative approach to get the 
bioperl (the CPAN package is rather old though)? 

Thanks

John
