I may have messed up my installation of Bioperl.

I followed the instructions on this page verbatim http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_BioPerl_on_Ubuntu_Server However the ./Build test command failed and I noticed a lot of modules were missing from the output of the test. I then used CPAN to install these modules. One of them was Bio::FeatureIO. When I installed this it seemed to be installing lots of BioPerl 1.6.1 files. However when i downloaded the bioperl as instructed here

wget -N http://bioperl.org/DIST/current_core_unstable.tar.bz2

the version that I got was 1.5.2_102

I am confused by the presence of 2 different version numbers and don't know how to proceed. It looks as if I have installed a lot of BioPerl 1.6.1 and if i carry on with the 

 ./Build test
./Build install

[download]
instructions from the website I will then install version 1.5.

When i looked at the files installed in the Bio folder in my perl libraries there were 88 files and the only files missing compared to my other BioPerl installations on other machines were:
ANSI directory BioEntry.pm ConfigData.pm

I looked at some of the modules to try and see which version they were but they all had different version numbers. I think I have inadvertently used CPAN to install 1.6.1. What do you think?

many thanks
