Thanks!  

PS.  I'm really glad somebody is interested in getting this ported to EPEL as
others have been asking me whether they could get bioperl packaged on
RHEL/EPEL/Centos, but I don't have the time, nor do I run any RHEL/Centos
machines.  Will this mean you will submit/maintain the package for EPEL?

Also are all the other perl deps (e.g. perl-Graph etc.) now available for EPEL?
 Creating and maintaining all those extra EPEL branches was another reason I
wasn't able to take on the task myself (although I am willing to be a
co-maintainer)

OK, no patch has been yet committed for devel (which means F-13 as F-12 is now
taking updates), although any improvements on my hack in the spec file that you
make will be happily filtered back to Fedora.
