BioPerl version

[scres]

While trying to compile a script with specific Bioperl version dependency I encounter
! Couldn't find a $VERSION in prerequisite Bio::Perl
I have set the PERL5LIB path to point to this latest version uner my .profile

Please see below:
perl -MBio::Perl -le 'print Bio::Perl->VERSION;'
1.006924
perldoc -l Bio::Perl
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Bio/Perl.pm
perl -V

........
%ENV:
PERL5LIB="/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Bio/:\/usr/local/share/perl/site_perl/5.18.2/Bio:\/usr/local/share/perl/site_perl"
@INC:
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Bio/
\/usr/local/share/perl/site_perl/5.18.2/Bio
\/usr/local/share/perl/site_perl
/etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.18
/usr/share/perl/5.18
/usr/local/lib/site_perl

Any help on how I can install properly/set right path to version

it would be helpful if you posted the code where you are checking the version.

also, it appears that

print Bio::Perl->VERSION;

is a method call, while

print $Bio::Root::Version::VERSION;

prints the contents of a variable containing the version value. I don't know if this could be causing the issues you're seeing.
