So here is the results of a test. It looks like it works, but buggy.

See https://metacpan.org/source/ROCKY/Bio-BPWrapper-1.02_02/bin.

Unless I've missed something, I'll report this as a bug sometime tomorrow.

      bioseq is a command-line program just like lwp-request. In the distribution tarball it is located in the bin directory.

      The name suggested, Bio::BPWrapper:bioseq, is wrong. That may be where metacpan may find it, but that is not the name. It doesn't have a package namespace of Bio::BPwrapper.

      As for why I did that, it is because I want the POD which is long to be separate from the code so that the same file can be put on a shared wiki, but combined with the distribution just before release.

      Ok. That was an inadvertent mistake on my part and explains some of the weirdness. Having gone through the possibilities listed elsehwere, I think I understand the best I can do for merging in the concerns of cpan.org and convinient wiki editing. Again this is spelled out elsewhere in this thread.
