It was despair for a while, it's been a week that I'm trying. Strawberry Perl is popular indeed, by chance I downloaded it first but I faced issues with it and ended up downloading the Active State's, but this's not in anyways bearing discredit to Strawberry Perl nor its stability.

Windoze presents unexpected (unaccepted) behavior all the times, imagine, my first shot with BioPerl was to do exactly what I've done today, install the repositories and search for the Module, and it gave me failures, so over the course of the week I tried other strategies none of which worked, and after having posted my question, I went back to what I tried a week ago and this time it decided to work!!!, back then I typed the URLs in, today I just pasted them as shortcuts to where they're supposed to. A blind shot in the darkness sort of.

one big challenge remains however, I seek direction down the road of finding stronger BioPerl tutorials that address the various Bioinformatics issues down to their core, with examples and case studies, I appreciate help and your replies to this node, all of you, can potentially serve a lot of people facing similar struggles. Soliciting council is Wisdom.

Thanks...

Excellence is an Endeavor of Persistence. Chance Favors a Prepared Mind.
