[Bioperl-l] Interface of the method

[Jun Yin]

Hi, Dave,

No problem. I think your suggestion of using 
$newaln=$aln->select_Seqs('-seqs' => (1, 3, 5..10,15), -toggle => "yes"); 
is more reasonable. It is a more BioPerl way of defined parameters.

And, $newaln=$aln->select_Seqs(1, 3, 5..10,15); 
will also be recognized for the simplicity of use.

Cheers,

You're absolutely right. My apologies — thanks for pointing that out.

Aaand, you're right here, too.

Again, sorry about that. It was quite late last night when I was  
replying to your email, and I sure wasn't thinking clearly.

So, please don't mind me, ( carry on, as you were!) and thanks again  
for your work on this.
