The install script fails with GNU Wget 1.12
Created by: dbolser-ebi
I don't know why, but this version of wget trims off the file extension while downloading, breaking the logic of the install script:
[dbolser@gunpowder Bio-DB-HTS]$ perl INSTALL.pl --prefix $PWD/build
/nfs/production/panda/ensemblgenomes/development/dbolser/Web/Ensembl/Test_Ensembl_89/Bio-DB-HTS

There is probably a library to abstract downloads in Perl.
