[Bioperl-l] torturing newbies are we? SeqIO HowTo question

[Brian Osborne]

Tom,

Thanks for pointing these out. The typos were corrected in the *sgml files
(and online) a while back but the HTML files in bioperl-live are not
correct.

I'll take a look at that other error...

Subject: [Bioperl-l] torturing newbies are we? SeqIO HowTo question

Greetings,

in the Bio::SeqIO HOWTO examples:

the first example (getaccs)
while (my $seq = $inseq->next_seq) {
        print $seq->accession_no, "\n";         ###<- wrong method name
}

should read:
while (my $seq = $inseq->next_seq) {
        print $seq->accession_number, "\n";
}

Also,
in a later example from this HOWTO (in2out.pl) there's a typo:
while (my $inseq = $seqin->next_seq) {
        $outseq->write_seq($inseq);                     ### should be
$seqout->write_seq($inseq);
}

But what I really want to know is why, when I run this example
(in2out.pl), while it gives the correctly formatted output, it gives
the warnings:
Argument "*main::STDOUT" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at
/Library/Perl/5.8.1/Bio/Root/IO.pm line 483.
.. repeated 6 times for a single genbank input file.
I may be slow, but I catch on eventually, you meanies ;-)

I hope it's clear that while the typos are real, I'm kidding about the
torture. I really appreciate the help I've gotten from the gurus who
monitor this list.

Thanks,
Tom Keller
