Well heres a small test code I made to explain my
problem. Please let me know your suggestions.
Thanks.

--------------code-----------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::DB::Fasta;
use Bio::DB::Flat;
use Bio::Index::Fasta;
use Bio::Seq;

my $db = Bio::DB::Fasta->new("f1");
#my $db = Bio::Index::Fasta->new("f1");
my $seqobj = $db->get_Seq_by_id("abc"); 
my $str = $seqobj->seq();
print $str;

exit; 
-----------end of code ------------

And here is the error I get (which I did not a few
months back)

> perl -w test.pl
AnyDBM_File doesn't define an EXISTS method at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Bio/DB/Fasta.pm
line 577

and f1 fasta file is 
> cat f1
>abc
