[Bioperl-l] remoteBlast problem

[Dongsheng Che]

To whom it may concern:

I'm trying to do blast search remotely, so I downloaded bioperl-1.5, and followed the installation procedure, ie, perl Makefile.PL, make, make test. make install. I know there are some installation failure during the installation. 

Since my main purpose is to get remoteBlast worked, I don't want bother to figure out all failures. but I run remote Blast, it gave me some erorrs from examples (bptutorial).

**Warning**: Couldn't connect to NCBI with Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlast.pm!

I wondering what cause the problem. 

Thanks in advance!
