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.

I too am using BioPerl on Windoze all on my own. So whether I am doing it correctly or not, who knows....
I would dearly love to find some "OK, here is how it should be done" tutorials, esp. if it targets Windows.
I can read the *NIX stuff OK, but I don't know how to make a lot of it work in XP.
Mucho Thanks, Mark.
