[Bioperl-l] load_gff.pl error

[Vamsi]

Hi,

I am trying to use the load_gff.pl located in the Bio-DB-GFF/scripts directory
of the bioperl-1.2.3 distribution. 

When I try
"perl load_gff.pl --dsn dbi:mysql:XXX --user XXX --pass XXX a.gff"

I get the error

Can't use string ("ARGV") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use at 
/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Bio/DB/GFF.pm line 2130.

When I modify sub do_load_gff in GFF.pm by having as the first line
"no strict 'refs';"
the error disappears.

Is this something anyone else has faced?

Thanks,
Vamsi
