[Bioperl-l] How_to_set_proxy_information_in_getGenBank.pl

[Peter Kos]

Hi Charles,

Thanx for that, you are right, that's why I had an equal sign at the 
end, like ...:80=
If I read the string that way, I could have figured out by myself.

But I didn't.

Sometimes (usually?) I mix up things, sorry for this lame mistake.

Thank you again
Peter
