[Bioperl-l] EMBOSS tools and bioperl

[SRMD, Col - Underwood, Anthony]

Hi bioperlers

I have a perl program using bioperl and the EMBOSS factory module.

The program works fine from the command line but not as cgi which is
obviously running as a different user.

I have a suspicion it's something to do with paths. Is there an
environmental variable I need to set to run emboss programs as there is with
local blast and bioperl e.g 
BEGIN {$ENV{BLASTDIR} = '/usr/local/blast';$ENV{BLASTDATADIR} =
'/usr/local/blast/data/databases';  }


When I run these two lines within the script

$factory = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
$needle = $factory->program('needle') || die "needle_factory $!";
<----------line 23

the error message is 
needle_factory No such file or directory at
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/needle_test.cgi line 23.
Please can anybody advise.


Many thanks


Anthony
