Layout
It would be good if the content of this page could be re-organized, as it seems to jump around a bit, and I think several sections could be placed on other (sub) pages. I'd do it... but I'm lazy, no wait, what I mean is that I don't want to start cutting and hacking away before I know what I am doing. --DanBolser 12:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Question about gbrowse_netinstall.pl
Looking at:
http://gmod.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/gmod/Generic-Genome-Browser/bin/gbrowse_netinstall.pl
I wonder if its possible to install 'non-root' using this PL? Seems like appropriate use of the '--install_param_str' could allow a non-root install via this package... would it be something like
perl gbrowse_netinstall.pl --install_param_str PREFIX=~/build
- At least part of the answer to this question is: "Yes, you can use gbrowse_netinstall.pl as 'non-root', however, you should have your cpan configuration set up so that you can install Perl modules as a non-root user. It seems that mostly gbrowse_netinstall.pl uses cpan, so lets see... --DanBolser 15:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

CPAN as non-root?
See: http://sial.org/howto/perl/life-with-cpan/non-root/

Question about Optional Perl modules
Are the Bio:: Perl modules listed in this section not part of BioPerl? Why are these modules listed separately from BioPerl? --DanBolser 15:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
