[Bioperl-l] Help with taxonomy db

[Brian Osborne]

J,

I'm just guessing here but is "flatfile" really the correct value for
'source'? Shouldn't this be an actual file name?

Hi all,
Would you please help me with this error message in using local
taxonomy db?

My test code is here:
#-------------------------------------------------------
use Bio::DB::Taxonomy;
my $db = new Bio::DB::Taxonomy(-source    => 'flatfile',
			       -nodesfile => 'nodes.dmp',
			       -namesfile => 'names.dmp',
			       -directory => 'index');

my $id = $db->get_taxonid('Homo sapiens');
print "id is $id for Homo sapiens\n";
#-------------------------------------------------------

The code generates three files in the index
directory: 'nodes','names2id','id2names'.

but after that I get an error message:

------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: No such file or directory index/nodes
STACK Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile::_db_connect
c:/Perl/site/lib/Bio\DB\Taxonomy\
flatfile.pm:325
STACK Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile::new
c:/Perl/site/lib/Bio\DB\Taxonomy\flatfile
.pm:138
STACK Bio::DB::Taxonomy::new c:/Perl/site/lib/Bio/DB/Taxonomy.pm:104
STACK toplevel local_taxonomy_query.pl:10
--------------------------------------

I'm quite confused with this error, because the nodes file is just in
there, but why "No such file"?

Can anyone tell me what happening? Any suggestion is appreciated.
