[Bioperl-l] get_nof_contigs returns undef

[Wes Barris]

Hi,

The "get_nof_contigs" function does not appear to work.  The following code
results in an error when trying to print the number of contigs in the
assembly.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bio::Assembly::IO;
my $usage = "Usage: $0 <infile.ace> <outdir> [cn#]\n";
my $infile = shift or die $usage;
my $io = new Bio::Assembly::IO(-file=>$infile, -format=>'ace');
my $assembly = $io->next_assembly();    # Bio::Assembly::ScaffoldI
my @contigIds = $assembly->get_contig_ids;
my $nContigs = $assembly->get_nof_contigs;
print("Contig IDs: @contigIds\n");
print("N contigs: $nContigs\n");
