Is the call to ->force strictly necessary, or could you just use ->install instead? I prefer to trigger the ->force myself, after I've convinced myself that the test failures don't apply to my situation...

    The call to force isn't strictly necessary. In my case, I was getting a few too many failures, so I just forced it to save some time. BioPerl works well for me otherwise. Thanks for pointing it out.
