Figured it out, just needed INSTALL.SKIP. I'll override config_data
for the other bits at a later time. Thanks!

I've run into an issue with Module::Build that I haven't found an
easy workaround for yet. We subclass Module::Build for the BioPerl
core distribution (now on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.0/)
. We have several other optional smaller sub-distributions (BioPerl-
db, BioPerl-run, etc) that are available separately via CPAN. All
share the common 'Bio' module namespace.
Apparently, each distribution recreates Bio::ConfigData (they all
use 'feature' or 'auto_feature'), which is causing problems with
automated packaging:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484495
We have several ways we could solve this (not install ConfigData,
have separate customized ConfigData files for each distribution, or
use one common Bio::ConfigData for all distributions). However I
haven't found any documentation on how to prevent ConfigData
installation or generate/reuse custom-named ConfigData files. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
