Different btw Perl & BioPerl 1

[PerlDaniel]

I am curious to know what is the difference between Perl and BioPerl. My question is not about BioPerl being used for what. BioPerl clearly indicates it is for what. Are there any differences in terms of ways of coding things? BioPerl is running on the top of Perl with certain additional components????

Bioperl project.......

Officially organized in 1995 and existing informally for several years prior, The Bioperl Project is an international association of developers of open source Perl tools for bioinformatics, genomics and life science research.
Facilitated by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation we work closely with our friends and colleagues across many projects including biojava.org, biopython.org, DAS, bioruby.org, EnsEMBL and EMBOSS.

The Bioperl server provides an online resource for modules, scripts, and web links for developers of Perl-based software for life science research. We can also provide web, FTP and CVS space for individuals and organizations wishing to distribute or otherwise make freely available standalone scripts & code.

Bioperl is a toolkit of perl modules useful in building bioinformatics solutions in perl.

There are not special components, is just a collection of useful modules.
