[Bioperl-l] ask for help about the new RID format on NCBI server

[Guojun Yang]

I sent an email to NCBI service BLAST help (see the email below) and was
told that we need to change our regex format. We do not need to use regex
for RID in our perl script for Remoteblast. Do we need to change the source
code for a certain module? If so, would any one please let me know how to do
that?
With appreciation,
Guojun

The RID format has changed to track our internal reorganization. 

You would need to change your script to cope with this change.

Dear Blast Help, 
We are running a perl program using API to send and retrieve BLAST 
results. 
It was working very well before. However, in the last week (including 
the 
past weekend), we always receive error information. It shows the RID 
number 
followed by the word "error". We tried to use the RID to retrieve 
results 
the NCBI page using RID, it did not work. We tried many times, it did 
not 
work.Would you please help me sorting this out? 
Sincerely,
