Bio::Emboss perl module version 0.4
===================================

This module interfaces to the libraries of the EMBOSS package
(European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite).

With this module you can access EMBOSS databases and use EMBOSS
functions to manipulate your data. You can write perl programs that
look like any other EMBOSS program (command-line, web interface).

INSTALLATION

Before installation, edit Makefile.PL !

  You must define $EMB_ROOT       -- EMBOSS installation path
           and    $EMB_SRC_ROOT   -- EMBOSS source code path

  Maybe also $EMB_EXT_LIBS        -- libraries used for building EMBOSS
        and  $EMB_DEFS            -- definitions used when building EMBOSS

Then, to install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make

   make test                   # optional
   perl t/seqret.pl -help      # optional
   perl t/graphtest.pl         # optional

   make epods                  # optional, 
                               #   creates ajax documentation in
			       #   perl POD format
                               #   % perldoc Bio::Emboss::Ajax

   make install
