[BioSQL-l] bioperl basics

[Barry Moore]

John,

@INC is not an environment variable, it is a perl variable that gets  
populated by the environment variable PERL5LIB.  You would normally  
set that environment variable by doing something like 'export  
PERL5LIB='/path/to/perl/libraries':$PERL5LIB' if you use bash shell  
or setenv PERL5LIB "/path/to/perl/libraries:$PERL5LIB" if you use c  
shell and you'll want to put those lines into the appropriate start  
up files so that they get set everytime you log in.  This will be  
different on a windows system but I'm afraid I can't help with that.

If you are having trouble installing bioperl I would encourage you to  
read the installation documentation at http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/ 
Installing_BioPerl.  Beyond that you will find a wealth of help with  
your beginning perl questions by searching the web with Google,  
asking at perlmonks.org or joining one of the many perl mailing lists  
that you can find at http://lists.cpan.org/.

The bioperl mailing list and this mailing list (BioSQL) are devoted  
specifically to discussions directly related to Bioperl and BioSQL  
respectively.  You should search for answers to questions like this  
one first on the web, then on one of the general perl mailing lists  
or web sites mentioned above.  When you have questions (even beginner  
ones) that are specific to Bioperl or BioSQL you are welcome post to  
those lists at any time.

Barry
