matth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can any monks please offer me diagnosis for the following? 


cpan> get Bundle::BioPerl

    As I don't use the cpan shell to install modules, I can only assume the target file Bundle-BioPerl-2.04.tar.gz doesn't exist!

    The latest Bioperl source is here, but of course there will be additional modules to get in order to get it to pass all tests (GD, some XML modules etc.)

    I just ran cpan> get Bundle::BioPerl and it worked fine for me. I'm using CPAN v. 1.63. If you're not using the latest CPAN version, can you upgrade and try again?

      I think that it is something to do with the way that I set up cpan. The installation details are under readmore.
