I'm trimming the long list of modules. Many of those are not on CPAN and have had no release since their removal from the BioPerl distribution. We have extracted those modules into separate packages (and repos under the github bioperl org), set up their build/release system, but very few of those packages have had someone then step up to take over their maintenance. Most of those removed modules appear only on the examples section of the documentation. Some of those examples make use many modules that are not split over multiple distributions. Others may make use of a module on another distribution, but the core of example is not related to that module and the module is only needed so that the example can be self-contained. Because it is not clear where such examples should go, they remain on the BioPerl core documentation. David
