[Bioperl-l] RE: All done with Bio::DB::Query

[Lincoln Stein]

H'mm.  Why the h*ll is the open being executed in this code fragment 
(WebDBSeqI.pm?

      my $result = $^O !~ /^MSWin/ && eval { open(STREAM,"-|") };

Could you test this out in a little perl script and tell me whether the open() 
is still executed?
