[ensembl-dev] installing perl api and its dependency on bioperl

[Andreas Kahari]

Hi Andrea,

As Jan says.  We can guarantee that the Core API (and others) work
without fail (as far as BioPerl is concerned) with release 1.2.3 of
BioPerl since that's what we use when we develop the APIs, but we can
not (yet) give any guarantees if you're using any other version of
BioPerl.  It might work fine, but we can't promise.

If you have a need for using the latest BioPerl (or any other version
than 1.2.3), then I suggest working with two checkouts of BioPerl and
then managing, with "use lib" (see "perldoc lib"), the version of
BioPerl that you use in the different parts (modules/scripts) of the
project.


Cheers,
Andreas
