Bio::Phylo

An object-oriented Perl toolkit for analyzing and manipulating phyloinformatic data.

DESCRIPTION

Phylogenetics is the branch of evolutionary biology that deals with reconstructing and analyzing the tree of life. This distribution provides objects and methods to aid in handling and analyzing phylogenetic data.

COMPATABILITY

Bio::Phylo installs without problems on most popular, current platforms (Win32, OSX, Linux, Solaris, IRIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD), on Perl versions >= 5.8.0

Currently, the build status is:

INSTALLATION

Bio::Phylo has no dependencies for its core install. However, some additional functionality will not work (e.g. XML parsing) until the CPAN module that enables it has been installed (e.g. XML::Twig). You can install these at a later date if and when need arises. If any of such additional CPAN modules are found to be missing at installation time, a warning will be emitted, but installation can continue.

To install the Bio::Phylo distribution itself, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL make make test make install

(For platform specific information on what 'make' command to use, check "perl -V:make". On Windows this usually returns "make='nmake';", which means you'll need the free 'nmake' utility)
