[Bioperl-l] problem with $seq_obj->translate()

[Xianjun Dong]

Hi,

I have problem when running the following code:

-------------------------------------------------------
my $seq=Bio::Seq->new(-seq =>"tttttatgccctaggggg",
                      -id  => "test1");
my $protein =$seq->translate(-orf => 1,
                             -complete => 1);
print $protein->seq();
-------------------------------------------------------

The error msg is:

Argument "-complete" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==)
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Bio/PrimarySeqI.pm line 533.

I don't know why. The same case if I change to use other options, like
"-codontable_id => 2, -orf =>1". Anyway, if I use more than 1 options in
translate() function, it will occur some error, like

Argument "-orf" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==)
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Bio/PrimarySeqI.pm line 533.

But this code is illustrated on Bioperl page:

Could you help me?

Thanks
