[Bioperl-l] Problem with Bio::SeqIO opening gzipped files

[Zayed Albertyn]

Hi Andreas

Adding the -c switch still doesnt work. I still get the same error
message. Input is the full path to the file e.g.

/cip0/db/GENBANK/RELEASE137/gbest13.seq.gz  == $path/$file

I've written another script that does the normal
open(FILE,"/bin/gunzip -c file1 |")

and it works fine
